The change of the reproducibility of maximum border movements in patients with CMD has been studied in the Untited States. Clayton and others reported a change of PRI, pantographic reproducibility index.There is no information on this in the Japanese population. Also, there is found no study on each section of a scribed line, pantographic reproducibility value (PRV). The purpose of this study is to analyze each section's characteristics with a Japanese population. 30 craniomandibular disorder patients were used in study. The Denar pneumatic pantograph has used. The average PRI before treatment was 35.5 and after treatment was 14.8 Statistically significant correlation (r=0.56) was found in PRI between before and after treatment All 12 sections showed a stasistically significant difference in PR value between before and after treatment Sensitive
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
