Background: The main aim of this research was to assess the reliability of two systems designed specifically for condylar movement recording using condylar slope and Bennett angle information. The objectives were to evaluate the validity of two subse...
Background/Objectives: Digital mandibular tracking enables non-invasive assessment of mandibular kinematics, but the relationship between tracking-derived functional parameters and structural temporomandibular joint alterations remains insufficiently...
Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) have always been the subject of studies due to the difficult management of symptoms and the complex stabilization of the so-called therapeutic position. In this effort, digital technologies open new opportunit...
Background: Assessment of functional occlusion is crucial in orthodontics and prosthodontics. With scientific advancements, optical jaw tracking systems are increasingly used to evaluate mandibular kinematics. Objectives: To compare the performance o...
Objective: To evaluate mandibular kinematics in an orthodontic population using the Modjaw® optical jaw tracking system. Materials and methods: A total of 154 orthodontic patients underwent mandibular kinematic analysis using the Modjaw® syst...
This observational cross-sectional study evaluated the differences in condylar guidance angles during mandibular protrusion and mouth opening using digital axiography and CBCT. A total of 30 healthy subjects (60 TMJs) aged 20–24 years were exam...
Background/Objectives: Eccentric bruxism is a complex parafunctional activity that involves grinding of teeth and occurs more frequently during sleep. This study aimed to assess differences in condylar parameters (sagittal condylar inclination -SCI a...
Background and Objectives: The integration of digital jaw tracking systems into prosthodontic workflows has created new opportunities for individualized articulator programming. Sagittal condylar inclination (SCI) and Bennett angle (BA) are the key c...
Background: Digital mandibular kinematic analysis complements clinical examination by quantifying movement amplitude, symmetry, coordination, and trajectories. However, device-specific acquisition and processing characteristics may influence the meas...
The masticatory cycle is a coordinated sequence of mandibular movements closely associated with masticatory muscle activity. However, the chewing pattern may be altered in temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). The aim of this study was to evaluate the...
A complex prosthodontic treatment is believed to be more successful when the condylar path is replicated using the articulator. However, there is an ongoing major disagreement between the researchers as the exact relationship between the posterior an...
Objective: This cross-sectional study analyzed the relationship between maxillary incisor inclination and sagittal condylar guidance in patients with and without temporomandibular disorders (TMD) across different skeletal malocclusions, aiming to enh...
The analysis of the masticatory cycle plays a fundamental role in studying the functions of the stomatognathic system and evaluating temporomandibular dysfunctions (TMD). The primary objective of this study is to investigate the complex interplay bet...
