Computer-graphic representation of mandibular movements in three dimensions. Part II: the sagittal and frontal planes.
Mandibular movements can be represented and viewed graphically in three planes--occlusal (approximately horizontal but variable), sagittoid (approximately sagittal), and frontal. The student of occlusion can vary the settings of the mathematical articulator and observe the three-dimensional changes produced in the interocclusal movement patterns.
