Influence of Working Condyler Path Adjustment System on Occlusal Organization

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of a working condylar path adjustment system. Lateral border movement were measured from -30 degrees to +30 degrees at the working condylar angle, and the working canine path and angle were analyzed using Gnathohexagraph simulation.
The results were as follows:
1. When the working canine path moved 1.2 mm, the working condyler angle changed by 60 degrees.
2. When the working condylar angle changed from -30 degrees to +30 degrees, the working canine angle changed by 15 degrees.
