Abstract　： [Introduction] Based on the "Organon theory" we should think about the so-called "Kauorgan" or "masticatory system" in terms of an organon. An organon is a part of the body, consisting of various types of different tissues with the purpose to provide a common function. The "Kauorgan" itself consists of three basic structures: 1) temporomandibular joint (TMJ), 2) neuromuscular system, and 3) occlusion. Looking on the "Kauorgan" as a cybernetic cycle it provides the following functions: 1) chewing and 2) swallowing as the real masticatory function, 3) speech, 4) stress breaking parafunctions such as clenching and bruxism, 5) body posture, and 6) esthetics. Due to the difficulties of recording, former attempts to establish a diagnostic system for this complicated, puzzled and multicomponent system were often based on a means of static occlusion. Referring to McCollum and Stuart who had published a fundamental book about this topic in 1928, the dentist should think nowadays of the "Kauorgan" in terms of function and not in a static manner. Following Slavicek the quality of occlusion should be defined as a smooth coming together movement of upper and lower dental arches during function.
