Well i don't know how to explain this in a easy way but i'm gonna try my best....
Now let's try and explain how an individual with an ideal bite functions. Starting at centric Occlusion and keeping the teeth in contact as much as possible, we slide the lower jaw to one side. In an ideal Occlusion, when the lower jaw is shifted to one side, the posterior teeth should not touch.
What happens is that the lower canine is riding up on the upper canine. This is called Canine Guidance. fewer muscles are active when canine contact during eccentric movement than when posterior teeth contact.. So if the canine guidance is absent the muscle stays active, and you can get clenching, grinding of the teeth, joint pain, fracturing of teeth, excessive wear of the enamel on top of the tooth...
The best alternative for canine guidance is group function when several teeth contact on the working side during the laterotrusive movement... like canine, premolas n 1st molar....
In mutually protected occlusion there should be anterior guidance n canine disclussion n elimination of balancing side interference.... so i guess if canine guidance is lost there will be balancing side interference???????
Sorry i really don't know the exact answer to your question... but i do hope now you know what is canine guidance and mutually protected occlusion..
