title: [Determination of the average value of the condylar slope of black Africans].
abstract: The objective of this work was to determinate the average value of the condylar slope of Black African subject and to set up its variation according to whether the localization of the hinge axis is real or arbitrary. With this intention, we made an axiographic study at 63 subjects presented complete natural teeth, with a normoclusion in class 1 of Angle. The results of this study reveal that the average value of the slope condylar is 44,28 degrees in arbitrary hinge axis and 45,7 degrees in hinge axis real; and this difference is not statistically significant. The graphic recording of condylar displacement by the "Quick-Axis" is thus possible without risk of error in the layout and the reproduction of the mandible movements which is of a great interest for the general practitioner taking into account the simplicity of handling of the FAG system.
