Abstract
90 patients with complaints of jaw joint noises were examined and analyzed on the timing of clicking and the curve of clicking movements drawn by the jaw movement recorder. Accuracy of the jaw movement recorder and analyzer allows appropriate examinations and diagnoses of common jaw clicking symptoms, which lead to the successful treatment. In the present paper, based on the recordings of the jaw movements and the questionnaire on masticatory function, three types of clicks were conjectured; 61％ of the clicking as anterior disc displacement, 23％ as reducible anterior disc displacement, 10％ as posterior disc displacement, and 6％ as unknown. I present three cases, one from each clicking symptom type, where splint treatment based on the analysis of jaw movements proved effective and successfully eliminated the clicking noises.
