That's where we disagree. I feel group function is a parafunction.
Why is the Maxillary canine the strongest tooth in the mouth? To
take lateral forces.

The maxillary canine is a hold over from beast of prey. It is a clenching
tooth.

From: Amatus Cremona on
If it was designed to take lateral forces, it would have a triangulated root
system. A vertical root is designed to take vertical force only.

For every 10 patients that you can claim problems from
group function, I can show you 40 that are doing great
and happy as a clam.

It isn't the occlusion, it is the occluding (but I don't
expect you to ever leave your dogma).

The light you see at the other end of the tunnel is just
a train coming your way.
