Power of GNeuromuscular (GNM) Occlusion

Expanding One’s Understanding

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

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.

What is Neuromuscular Dentistry?

Scientifically Objectively Measured Approach: Taking a Deeper Dive

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.

Facts About NMD

What Critics Say vs Facts

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.

Ragging Battles and Rigged Panels

Fighting for Scientific Truth in the Neuromuscular Dental Arena

The following is a short read of dental history that I have adapted to our intellectual response that is not well known among our profession. I only share it out of soleme respect to the pioneers that walked before and taught in respect to the furthering of scientific inquiry and bettering of our present day understanding of muscle physiology, mandibular movement and function of the masticatory system.

Gneuromuscular (GNM) Dentistry

GNM is ADVANCED Clinical Application of Gnathic+NM Understanding

The most important part of GNM is the way the OC trained dentists thinks, implements and applies the NM principles and technology. GNM is the advanced version of NM. There are many dentists in the dental profession who are trained and educated in NM and various specialties and disciplines. A GNM trained dentist comes to learn that clinical success cannot be achieved in this world by following classical NM occlusal teachings, but realizes that critical occlusal adjustment steps and protocols must be implemented correctly to be successful. GNM is the freedom of thought, the freedom to apply techniques necessary to solve a particular dental problem at the next level and the freedom of time to correctly apply the techniques necessary to gain a particular result. GNM is the advanced level of neuromuscular dentistry.
