Comparison of the Panadent Quick Analyzer and Analog Selector systems.
The use of pantographic tracings of mandibular movements is an important aspect of clinical diagnosis and treatment planning in prosthodontics. This study compared an average value system using a Quick Analyzer and computer-generated analogs to an Analog Selector, a device developed as an alternative method for determining the amount of laterotrusive movement and condylar inclination using a lateral interocclusal check record technique. The Quick Analyzer system produced more accurate and more consistent recordings than the Analog Selector. Both methods can be considered as excellent tools for teaching, diagnosis, and treatment planning.
