title: [A study on mandibular incisal point movement of TM disorder patients].
abstract: In order to establish diagnostic and treatment system for temporomandibular (TM) disorder patients, data were collected on mandibular border and tapping movements at incisive point and compared with those from the subjects without any TM disorders. Significant differences on the ratio of left and right sides of maximum lateral deviation, maximum opening amount and length of pathway of lateral border movement were clearly obtained, the values of maximum speed and acceleration of closing phase in tapping movement obtained from TM disorder patients were also different significantly from those in the control subjects. These findings suggests that those measured indices in this study would be useful for diagnosis of TM disorders.
