Abstract
Purpose: Bennett movement has been extensively discussed in the literature, yet the clinical relevance of Bennett’s contribution in the field of Prosthodontics and restorative dentistry remains unclear.
Materials and Methods: An electronic search of articles in PubMed database for relevant literature published between 1958 until present day was meticulously scrutinized with the following search terms: lateral movements or immediate mandibular lateral translation or mandibular side shift or Bennett side shift or Bennett movement.
Results: After conducting an extensive and in-depth review of the literature, the authors were unable to conclusively find the clinical relevance of Bennett movement. Moreover, the logical sequence could not be negated fully. For the beginners in the profession, it is desirable to incorporate this for intellectual and logical satisfaction until new research proves otherwise.
Conclusion: The Bennett movement have little or no clinical impact in a restorative occlusal scheme.
Keywords: Lateral movements, Mandibular lateral translation, Mandibular side shift
