Abstract

To clarify the validity of analysis of masticatory movement using a two-dimensional (2D) mandibular movement recording device, masticatory movements (pattern of movement path, opening distance, masticatory width, and cycle time) were compared between simultaneous recordings made by 2D and three-dimensional (3D) devices in healthy adults. The 2D device can perform the same level of mandibular movement analysis as the 3D device if the distance between LED and camera is fixed (15 cm), and the findings indicated the suitability of the 2D device for clinical application.
