When reducing the functional cusp, one should hold the hand piece in the plane of the functional cusp. In addition, functional cusps are cusps that block with the opposite teeth in centric obstruction. In normal obstruction the lingual cusps of the higher posterior teeth and the buccal cusps of the lower posterior teeth.
