Abstract
Physiologic rest position of the mandible is an important parameter to be considered in the fabrication of a complete denture as well as in a case of full mouth rehabilitation. Violation of the rest position would lead to detrimental effects on the facial musculature and the temporomandibular joint. This article reviews the various concepts pertaining to the rest position of mandible and its clinical implication.
