The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between mandibular movements and dentofacial morphology.
The sagittal inclination of incisor and condyle paths, and the angle of mandibular rotation from the intercuspal position to 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, most protruded position were compared with variables of Dentofacial morphology by using coefficients of correlation.
The results were as follows:
1: The sagittal inclination of incisor and condyle paths and the angle of mandibular rotation have a close correlation to dentofacial morphology derived from a cephalogram.
2.: In comparison with skeletal classifications, mandibular movement may be influenced by dentofacial morphology.
