[Differences of clinical and axiographic function parameters in patients with skeletal Class II and Class III anomalies].
21 young individuals with skeletal and dental class II-relationships were compared to an analogous group of class III individuals as to their mandibular range of motion. The measurements of clinical movements in pro- and laterotrusion as well as the lengths of axiographic tracings showed a significantly reduced capacity of motion in the class III group. Because all examined individuals exhibited undisturbed TMJ-function or, at most, had mild symptoms (Helkimo-indexes 0 or 1), the reported findings cannot be interpreted as signs of pathology, but seem to demonstrate the broad range of normality.
