Abstract

Condylocomp LR 3 (Dentron, Höchberg, Germany) is an electronic system for threedimensional, simultaneous registration o f the movement of the lower jaw. It is attached to a personal computer and
enables simultaneous graphic registration and control on a monitor.
Graphic presentation and measured data are filled and can be shown
on the monitor and analyzed whenever necessary. This system precisely calculates: rotation centre of both condyles condylar axis, slope of the condyle path, Bennett’s angle and Bennett’s movement, position of distraction of compression of the condyle, Posselt’s diagram and the incision angle. The system is helpful in the field o f functional diagnostics of the stomatognathic system. Individual programming of the articulator is simplified.
