Statement of problem: In the Protar articulator, the models are almost parallel with the Camper's plane. The ultrasonic-based ARCUSdigma system is basis for the determination of dynamic function parameters with so-called "articulator related registration". Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the sagittal condylar guidance angles found by use of the wax protrusive records in a semi-adjustable articulator(KaVo Protar 7) with those found by use of the Axiograph (ARCUSdigma). 83 volunteers with intact dentition participated in this study after obtainment of informed consent. Material and method: The sagittal condylar guidance angles were measured and estimated statistically by semi-articulator and Axiograph. All the readings were in degrees. No control was used in this project. To test whether there was a significant difference between the 2 independent samples, paired t-test and Kruskal-Wallis test were carried out(p=.05). Results: 1. The mean results for the wax protrusive records were as follow: right side (32.65 degrees, SD 16.48); left side (33.27 degrees, SD 17.49). 2. The mean results for the Axiograph were as follow: right side (32.26 degrees, SD 7.00); left side (33.07 degrees, SD 7.58). 3. There was no statistical difference on the wax protrusive records and Axiograph(p>0.05). Conclusion: Both methods of wax protrusive records and Axiograph are clinically acceptable for measuring the sagittal condylar guidance angles in semi-adjustable articulators.

The purpose of this study was to compare the sagittal condylar guidance obtained by the graphic method(pantographic tracing) with that produced by the positional method(check-bite). Ten adults who had normal occlusion and were free of TMJ dysfunction were selected, and the clutches were constructed. At first pantographic survey was performed and the articulator was adjusted with each pantographic recording. And then three protrusive check-bite were taken on the subjects using the polyether$(Lamitec^{(R)})$ on the buccal side of the posterior teeth without the interocclusal record method and the vericheck method was performed with each protrusive check-bite. Sagittal condylar guidances obtained by using the pantograph and Vericheck were compared and analyzed statistically. The results were as follows: 1. The average condylar guidance ankle at 4mm and 7mm from centric relation point on the pantograph $(35.9{\pm}1.10^{\circ},\;32.4{\pm}1.55^{\circ})$ was statisccally significant(P<0.01). 2. The average condylar guidance angle of the Vericheck was $27.0{\pm}3.43^{\circ}$. 3. The comparison of the right and left was not statistically significant in all group(P>0.05). 4. The comparison of pantograph and Vericheck was statistically significant in the right and left(P<0.001).

The discrepancy between centric relation and centric occlusion have a great role on the successful prosthodontic and occlusal treatment. This study was performed to investigate the effect of the discrepancy between centric relation and centric occlusion on condylar guidance inclination and Bennett shift (immediate and progressive side shift). Sixteen adults who have physiologically normal occlusion and are free of TMJ dysfunction were selected. The amount of the sagittal CR-CO discrepancy in lower anterior incisor was obtained by Saphon Visi-Trainer. The amount of the CR-CO discrepancy in condylar level was measured on the individualized corrected tomography. Pantronic survey was performed by using a arbitrary hinge axis according to manufacturer's direction. All subjects were divided into two groups, group I (small) and group II (large), according to the amount of CR-CO discrepancy. At first the amount of the CR-CO discrepancy in condylar level between two groups was compared and then the condylar guidance inclination and Bennett shift between two groups were compared and analyzed. The results were as follows; 1. The average CR-CO discrepancy in lower anterior incisors was 0.7mm superoinferiorly, 0.49mm anteroposteriorly, and 0.88 mm in total. The average CR-CO discrepancy in condylar level was 0.43mm. 2. The CR-CO discrepancy measured on teeth level and condylar level were highly correlated (p<0.01). 3. The correlation of the condylar position in the glenoid fossa between two groups was not statistically significant. 4. The large CR-CO discrepancy group showed greater amount of Bennett shift and condylar guidance inclination, but there is no statistical significancy. 5. It seems that the CR-CO discrepancy have greater effect on progressive side shift than other elements of mandibular movements.

The purpose of this study was to research the condylar path and the anterior angle of glenoid fossae and classify the patterns of condylar path. Thirty male and female dental students with normal occlesion and masticatory system ranging in age from 21 to 30, without present symptoms and an)r history of TM joint disturbance, were selected for this study. Transcranial radiographs of TM joints under mandibular lateral movement were obtained. By the computer analysis on the radiographs, the angle of posterior slope of articular eminance, the sagittal condylar guidance angie, condylar movement patterns and the height of glenoid fossa was measured respectively, and studied their interrelationship comparatively. The results obtained were as follows : 1. The total distance of condylar movement on balancing side during mandibular lateral movement was 4.55mm for Lt. and 4.78mm for Rt. when mandible moved from C.R. to canine to canine relation and 7.86mm for the Lt. and 8.10mm for the Rt. when mandible moved from C.R. to 7.5mm. 2. The horizontal distance of condylar movement on balancing side during mandibular lateral movements was 3.16mm for the Lt. and 3.52mm for the Rt. when mandible moved from C.R. to canine to canine relation and 6.10mm for the Lt. and 6.30mm for the Rt. when mandible moved from C.R. to 7.5mm. 3. The sagittal condylar guidance angle on balancing side during mandibular lateral movements was $45.96^{\circ}$ for the Lt. and $43.22^{\circ}$ for the Rt. when mandible moved from C.R. from canine to canine relation and $41.14^{\circ}$ for the Lt. and $39.77^{\circ}$ for the Rt. when mandible moved from C.R. to 7.5mm. 4. The height of glenoid fossa was 8.23mm for the Lt. and 7.80mm for the Rt. and the angle of posterior slope of articular eminence was $38.30^{\circ}$ for the Lt. and $38.79^{\circ}$ for the Rt. by method-A and $55.61^{\circ}$ for the Lt. and $55.64^{\circ}$ for the Rt. by method-B. 5. The sequence of the frequency of condylar movement patterns on balancing side during mandibular lateral movement were concave type(30 cases), convex type(16 cases), reverse S shape curve(9 cases) and S shape curve(5 cases) when mandible moved from C.R. to canine to canine relation and concave type(27 cases), 5 shape curve(13 cases), convex type(11 cases) and reverse S shape curve(9 cases) when mandible moved from C.R. to 7.5mm.

Mandibular movements are guided mainly by three determinants, namely the two posterior controls (the Temporomandibular joints) and the anterior control (the incisal guidance). The aim of this study was to evaluate the incisal guide angle in effort to reconcile a patient's condylar guide angle and incisu guide angle, to develop criteria for incisal guidance in clinical practice. 48 subjects (male 33, female 15) with intact intercuspation, without past history and symptoms of stomatognathic system, were selected for this study. All of the subjects had not anterior prostheses. The sagittal condylar guide angles and incisal guide angles were measured and estimated statistically by cephalogram and articulator (Whip-Mix 8500A). The results of this study were as follows: 1. Average of condylar guide angle was 43.33 degree by cephalogram, and was 35.18 degree by articulator. 95% confidence interval was from 40.43 to 46.23 degrees in cephalogram and was from 32.98 to 37.38 degrees in articulator. 2. Average of incisal guide angle was 51.51 degree by cephalogram, and was 44.11 degree by articulator. 95% confidence interval was from 49.12 to 54.95 degrees in cephalogram and was from 40.67 to 47.56 douses in articulator. 3. Difference between condylar and incisal guide angle was 8.18 degree by cephalogram, and was 8.94 degree by articulator. 95% confidence interval was from 4.61 to 11.74 degrees in cephalogram and was from 4.90 to 12.98 degrees in articulator. 4. In case of the incisal guide angle steeper than condylar guide angle, subjects were 69% (33 of 48) in cephatogram and 75% (36 of 48) in articulator. 5. By the multiple regression equation, condylar guide angle was more influenced by the anterior teeth. 6. When the mandible protrudes from the intercuspal position to the edge to edge position the incisal linear movement was 4.18mm (S.D.:1.30mm) and the condylar linear movement was 4.38mm (S.D.:1.26mm).

PURPOSE. This study compared the SCGAs measured in three types of radiographic images (panoramic, CBCT panoramic-section, and CBCT cross-section images) with values measured using the protrusive occlusal record. MATERIALS AND METHODS. SCGAs were measured in 20 patients on a semi-adjustable articulator using the protrusive interocclusal record. Panoramic and CBCT images were obtained. SCGAs were measured on CBCT images in panoramic and cross sections. In all of the radiographic images, SCGAs were measured using the Frankfort horizontal reference line and the mean curvature line. The most-superior and most-inferior points of the curvatures were identified to determine the mean curvature line. Each measurement was performed twice by two operators independently. The data were analyzed by the t-test, Pearson's correlation test, and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ using SPSS (${\alpha}=.05$). RESULTS. The mean right and left SCGAs were as follows: protrusive occlusal record (30.1 and 30.2 degrees, respectively), panoramic (38.9 and 38.7 degrees), CBCT panoramic sections (35.4 and 36.8 degrees), and CBCT cross sections (35.3 and 36.1 degrees). The SCGAs differed significantly among the groups. The Pearson coefficients for the correlations with the protrusive occlusal record measurements on the left and right sides were as follows: panoramic (0.834 and 0.791, respectively), CBCT panoramic-section (0.918 and 0.837), and CBCT cross-section (0.918 and 0.845) images. CONCLUSION. Strong correlations were found between SCGAs obtained using radiographic images and the protrusive occlusal record.

It is very important for the ideal restorations of anterior openbite patients to record the mandibular movement and to harmonize mandibular movement with other organs in stomatognathic systems. This study was designed to compare the mandibular movement of anterior openbite patients with that of normal bite(Angle Class I) patients, to ascertain which components of mandibular movement have differences between two groups, and to use for occlusal treatment of mandibular movement. Saphon Visi-trainer Model 3(Tokyo Shizaisha Co. Japan) and Denar Pantronic(Denar Corp.,U.S.A.) were used to record mandibular movement. Pantronic survey was peformed by using an arbitrary hinge axis according to manufacturer's direction. Twenty-eight adult who have physiologically normal occlusion(Angle Class I) and are free of TM dysfunction were selected as a control group(Group 1). Fifteen adult who are anterior openbite patient and have not anterior guidance function and have posterior interference at protrusion were selected as a experimental group(Group 2). The results are as follows : 1. There was no statistically significant difference between the average immediate and progressive side shift of anterior openbite patients(0.54mm, $7.57^{\circ}$) and those of normal group(0.49mm, $5.96^{\circ}$). 2. The average protrusive and orbiting condylar inclination of anterior openbite patient$(30.87^{\circ},\;32.27^{\circ})$ were significantly lower than those of normal group$(36.11^{\circ},\;39.04^{\circ})$ (P<0.05). 3. In the results of Visi-trainer recordings, the mean for the maximum protrusion, the maximum laterotrusion, the angle of laterotrusion and the angle of protrusion in the horizontal trajectory between group 1 and 2 did not differ significantly. 4. The mean for the angle of protrusion, the maximum opening in the frontal trajectory, the ICP-RCP(A-P) distance and the angle of protrusion in the sagittal trajectory differ significantly(P<0.05). 5. The significant correlation was found between orbiting condylar inclination and protrusive condylar inclination.
