Abstract:
The sagittal condylar paths of 17 healthy persons with class I occlusion were recorded by electronic axiography. Based on the radius values established for the geometry of each condylar path these could be compared with the protrusive facets of the incisors and the first premolar teeth. The results are important for our understanding of the movement profiles of the masticatory system. Correlations between the TMJ and the anterior teeth in terms of functional morphology were observed.
