Title: Masticatory Gnathological system
 1Masticatory / Gnathological system
- Masticatory 
 - Pertaining to chewing 
 - Gnathology 
 - Science that deals with anatomy, histology, 
physiology, pathology of the jaws and masticatory 
system as a whole, including the applicable 
diagnostic, therapeutic and rehabilitative 
procedures
