title: [Comparative studies on the axial point of the prosthesis].
abstract: After marking, the axial point of the temporomandibular joint was arbitrarily determined with a teleradiographic cephalostat according to the Gerber, Ramfjord, Posselt, and Hobo procedure as well as the Whip-Mix-Quick-Mount external arch. The results were compared with the position of the true hinge axis. The distance which this axial point deviated from the axis was measured. Occlusal errors occurring in conjunction with prosthetic and restorative work may be reduced to a minimum if the thinest possible centric tracing is made.
