title: Determination of the horizontal movement of the working-side condyle during lateral movements of the mandible using computed tomography.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the horizontal movement of the working-side condyle during lateral movements of the mandible using computed tomography. The results showed that the working-side condyle moves in an outward and forward direction from the position of maximum intercuspation. The average movement is less than 1 mm.
