Measurement for Amounts of Disocclusion on Nonworking Side during Lateral Movement

Part I Under Coundition with Canine Teeth

Abstract

The amount of disocclusion on nonworking side during lateral movement of the mandible was measured on subject's study models, using a leaf gauge and keeping canine teeth on those study models as they were. The results showed that the average amount of disocclusin on nonworking side during lateral movement is 1.10±0.36mm. Molars were arranged in order of magnitude of disocclusion first and second premolar portion, first molar and second molar. Further, there were no molar of which the amount of disocclusion is zero, being the minimum value of them 0.2mm.
