With the re-evaluation of the concept of the "line of occlusion" the author proposes a contemporary definition: "a distinctively individual line at the incisobuccal contact, with a location, position, and form to which the teeth must conform to be in normal occlusion." In other words, it is that position which the teeth must occupy to be in stability and harmony with each other and with all other anatomic structures.
随着对“咬合线”概念的重新评估,作者提出了一个现代定义:“切牙颊侧接触处的一条独特的个体线,牙齿要处于正常咬合就必须与之在位置、方位和形态上相符合。”换句话说,它是牙齿为了彼此之间以及与所有其他解剖结构保持稳定与协调而必须占据的位置。
