An investigation of the dynamics of dental occlusion in baboons showed mandibular movement to be rotary and cyclic and to include lateral motion. The path of motion was related directly to the dental articulation, and it was not restricted by the overlapping canines, indicating a major premise of the cuspid-rise theory is invalid.
