[Instrumental analysis of sagittal condylar motion pathway].
An analysis of protrusive jaw movement was carried out using Quick-Axis mandibular motion analyser. The condylar path tracings were recorded of 46 individuals (21 women and 25 men). Three recordings were performed on each side and a tangent to the condylar curves was drawn to calculate the condylar angle. Considering all dates the mean value of angulation was 52.2 degrees. There were no statistically significant differences between the two sexes and sides. The authors' findings suggest it is advisable to perform three consecutive registrations on each side and calculate a mean condylar angle to gain a better result.
