Sažetak
The movements of the mandibula and temporomandibular joints
are complex and copious. These movements are mainly controlled by
the movements of the condyli and lead by occlusal contacts and the
function of the muscles of mastication. The marginal movements of
the mandibula differ from individual to individual, but are repeatable
in the same subject. In dental prosthetics the movements of the mandibula can be reproduced by means of pantographic recordings and transfer into the articulator. In this study the protrusive and lateral movements of the mandibula were recorded using a panadent articulator, which, thanks to its relatively simple system of recording and exchangeable condyle housings, belongs to the semi-adjustable articulators. By means of this articulator one can record relatively easily the movements of the mandibula and condyli. Recordings were done in a group of 8 examinees. The movements of the mandibula and condyli could be recorded in a short period of time and the records were used to determine whether or not dysfunctional disturbances impeding proper movements existed. Precisely recorded movements of the mandibula and condyli can be transferred into an articulator and simulate laboratory conditions. This enables diagnosis of occlusion disorders and planning of the production of prosthetic substitutes.
