Three Demensional Consideration of Mandibular Border Movement in Edentulous Patient

Abstract

During prosthetic treatment of the edentulous patient, the gothic arch is used to adjust the condylar path of the articulator by taking the check bite and determining the horizontal position of the mandible. In addition, attempts have been made to examine mandibular function through variations in the form of the gothic arch registration and the position of the tapping point. I would like to report a case where joint noises were observed during opening and closing movements and radiographs suggested condylar deviation despite a typical registration of the gothic arch and concentration of the tapping point at the apex.
