GNeuromuscular Occlusion is discipline of dentistry based upon minimizing the need for muscle ACCOMODATION as the patient closes into a STABLE CENTRIC OCCLUSION.

GNM Occlusion is the clinical application of the gnathic (G) functional details based on neuromuscular (NM) objectively measured protocols. GNM Occlusion is the clinical standard in the clinical application when determining the vertical, antero-posterior, frontal/lateral, pitch, yaw and roll. (To read more: Dr. Chan’s Blog Notes

3 Criteria for Scientific and Clinical Validity

For the past forty three years, dentistry has enjoyed an exciting evolution in the delivery of care. Technological advances have predominantly driven this evolution. Scientific advances have resulted in dental materials as technological break-throughs using bio-instrumentation that have completely changed our perspectives on how dentist diagnose, manage and treat their cases.

Neuromuscular Dentisty (NMD) is a protocol utilizing diagnostic instrumentation to OBJECTIVELY quantify, verify and measure bio-physiologic responses  of the masticatory and cervical system.  It takes into consideration the status and influences of MASTICATORY MUSCLES.

Throughout the more recent years critics within academia have attempted to disparage neuromuscular (NM) dentistry. The neuromuscular dental community has published compelling evidence in peer reviewed publications as well as in numerous articles in journals. No one with credible conviction can say anything negative about neuromuscular dentistry if they have thoroughly studied it and understand its multi-faceted principles and application in clinical diagnosis and treatment planning.
