CANINE GUIDANCE:
The vertical displacement of the mandible due to gliding contact of
the canine teeth.
(prevent potentially damaging force)

It is important to note that canine guidance is more common for

younger individuals. This type of guidance determines the chewing
patterns and the extent of lateral movements of the jaw in young adults.
As age progresses, the guidance shifts to something called as "group
function," that is well pronounced in teeth with flatter occlusal surfaces.

What happens in an individual lacking canine guidance?

The absence of canine guidance can be harmful in many ways. Firstly, the
muscles aiding us in mastication will exert an increased force on the
posterior teeth. This force can be so high that it can cause severe bruxism
and eventual wearing of the tooth surfaces. Furthermore, an increased
pressure on the posterior teeth can cause dysfunctions in the
temporomandibular joint. A severity in the forces exerted can damage the
ends of the molar roots, causing severe pain. Moreover, do not be
surprised if malaligned canines lead to cracked teeth.
GROUP FUNCTION:
The group function occlusion on working side distributes the occlusal load and prevents teeth on
non working side from being subjected to the destructive, obliquely directed forces.
