[A radiographic assessment of condylar position after therapy with the Michigan plate].
The paper analyses condylar movement in the sagittal plane following four months of therapy using a Michigan-type plate in a group of 19 patients with craniomandibular disorders. An OLTP radiographic examination was used; X-rays carried out before and after therapy were compared using a special image subtraction technique. From the analysis of results it emerged that 63.12% of patients showed a mono- or bilateral condylar movement which was visible by X-ray.
