VI. Basic concept of Functional Occlusion<br />
4. Passive Centric and Occlusal Guidance<br />
The active centric stops of the mandible occlude with the passive centric<br />
stops of the maxilla moving on the lingual surface of the incisors and canine<br />
and on the mesial marginal ridges of molars and premolars of the working<br />
side along the lateral excursions of the mandible. It moves consecutively on<br />
non-working side toward the lingual cusps.<br />
It moves from the passive centric line toward out side during the mandibular<br />
lateral excursions. Therefore, this area is called guiding area.<br />
The limit of the guiding area is the mesial marginal ridge of the upper first<br />
molars, and there is not guide posterior to this.<br />
