Location of centers of rotation and existence of terminal hinge axes during jaw movements – a preliminary in vivo clarification
This in vivo study indicates that the assumption of a pure condyle rotation during initial mouth opening is not supported by the data. As this assumption underpins standard mechanical articulator concepts, these concepts need critical reevaluation.
