Anteroposterior position of "Myo-Monitor centric"

Nine patients had interocclusal recordings made at "Myo-Monitor centric", centric occlusion, and centric relation. With the use of centric relation as a reference point, the anteroposterior distances from centric relation to centric occlusion and Myo-Monitor centric were measured. In addition, the variations in Myo-Monitor centric were analyzed by making repeated interocclusal records on the same patient. Results showed that, within the limits of this study, Myo-Monitor centric was anterior to centric relation but was slightly retrusive to centric occlusion. Also, Myo-Monitor centric recordings were variable from the left and right sides of the same patient and varied on the same side of the same patient.
