What is the Bennet shift?

  1. Lateral movement of mandible toward working side during lateral excursion

  2. A technique for adjusting dentures

  3. Measurement for denture fitting

  4. Rotation adjustment in dental procedures

The correct answer is: Lateral movement of mandible toward working side during lateral excursion

The Bennet shift refers to the lateral movement of the mandible toward the working side during lateral excursion. This is an important aspect of normal jaw function and it helps maintain proper alignment of the teeth and jaw. Options B and C are incorrect as they refer to denture-related procedures, which have nothing to do with the Bennet shift. Option D is also incorrect as rotation adjustment is not the same as lateral movement. Therefore, option A is the only correct choice as it accurately describes the Bennet shift.
