mandibular rest position is the joints close - packed position.
true
false

Explanation:

The close - packed position of a joint is the position where the joint surfaces are in maximum contact and the joint is most stable. The mandibular rest position is not the close - packed position. The close - packed position of the temporomandibular joint is when the teeth are in maximum intercuspation (when the teeth fit together in the best occlusal relationship). In the mandibular rest position, there is a small space (freeway space) between the upper and lower teeth, and the joint components are not in the maximum contact as in the close - packed position.

Answer:

B. False
