“…A pilot study was done,[ 7 ] on the compatibility of mechanical and computerized axiograph. In that study, the authors had compared the measurements of both mechanical (SAM Axiograph Axo200) and computerized (SAM Axiotron and Axo500) systems in recording the rotation and translation of mandible.…”

Aims:To determine the average condylar inclination using ultrasonic axiograph; to determine the average condylar inclination using protrusive interocclusal bite records; to compare whether there is any marked difference in the values obtained by these techniques.Settings and Design:This clinical study compares the mean horizontal condylar inclination of the ultrasonic axiograph (Axioquick system) and the manual programming using protrusive interocclusal records.Materials and Methods:The study was conducted on a group of 30 subjects reporting to Department of Prosthodontics. Axioquick software system of SAM III (School Articulator Munich) fully-adjustable articulator was used, and interocclusal recording of condylar inclination is the manual method used in semi-adjustable articulators using Aluwax. The condylar inclination of the articulator was adjusted and set using protrusive interocclusal record.Statistical Analysis:The horizontal condylar inclination values of both methods were collected, and the mean of right and left condylar inclination was compared using paired t-test.Results:A statistically significant difference exists between Axioquick system and the manual method of programming articulator with protrusive interocclusal records (P ≤ 0.001).Conclusions:Within the limitations of the present study, the following conclusions were drawn: The average condylar inclination by axiograph is 42.125°. The average condylar inclination by interocclusal record is 33.25°. Comparison of both values shows a difference of 8.88° ± 4.03° that showed a significant difference (P < 0.001).

“…Hernandez et al [21] in their studies present the mean values for the condylar inclination (right and left side) of the TMJ, in test group studies by Cadiax system, which were higher than the values recorded in the research. The study conducted by Kucukkeles et al [22] showed that the measurements carried out by means of mechanical and electronic axiography did not differ significantly. These small differences may be due to inaccuracy of the manual technique.…”

The study focused on the comparison between mechanical and computerized registration methods used by the two selected kinematic facebows. The material consisted of 35 women aged 18 to 35, studied using the Gerber Dynamic Facebow and the computerized ARCUSdigma II axiograph. To compare the devices the condylar path inclination (CPI) was recorded according to the Camper's line, enabling the acquisition of easily comparable values based on which the devices were objectively and subjectively analyzed. Statistics was performed for the obtained data. The study showed that the values for the CPI registrated by the ARCUSdigma II are significantly higher than those obtained by using the Gerber Dynamic Facebow. The significant difference in the records of the CPI is most likely a result of the differences in the registration techniques assumptions. ARCUSdigma II provides the user with more diagnostic options than Gerber Dynamic Facebow. Mechanical facebow handling has a higher risk of hand-measuring errors in tracing procedure. Due to high discrepancy of achieved results from different systems the authors recommend to use articulator compatible with facebow whose measurement has been done.

“…The mandibular face-bow is equipped with two styli which trace mandibular movement onto two flaps positioned over the condylar region of the maxillary face-bow (Figure 4). Axiography is commonly used to measure condylar trajectories and Bennett angles (Alsawaf et al, 1993;Hüe, 2011;Kucukkeles et al, 2005;Sadat-Khonsari et al, 2003b;Theusner et al, 1993), and has been employed clinically for diagnostic purposes (Wagner et al, 2003) and for evaluating both intra-and postoperative mandibular function (Ewers et al, 2005;Landes and Sterz, 2003). It is considered a rudimentary measurement system that is inexpensive and can be rapidly setup and deployed, with commercially available products such as the Freecorder®BlueFox now readily available.…”

Motion of the mandible and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) plays a pivotal role in the function of the dentition and associated hard and soft tissue structures, and facilitates mastication, oral communication and access to respiratory and digestive systems. Quantification of TMJ kinematics is clinically relevant in cases of prosthetic rehabilitations, TMJ disorders, osteoarthritis, trauma, tumour resection and congenital abnormalities, which are known to directly influence mandibular motion and loading. The objective of this systematic review was to critically investigate published literature on historic and contemporary measurement modalities used to quantify in vivo mandibular and TMJ kinematics in six degrees of freedom. The electronic databases of Scopus, Web of Science, Medline, Embase and Central were searched and 109 relevant articles identified. Publication quality was documented using a modified Downs and Black checklist. Axiography and ultrasonic tracking are commonly employed in the clinical setting due to their simplicity and capacity to rapidly acquire low-fidelity mandibular motion data. Magnetic and optoelectronic tracking have been used in combination with dental splints to produce higher accuracy measurements while minimising skin motion artefact, but at the expense of setup time and cost. Four-dimensional computed tomography provides direct 3D measurement of mandibular and TMJ motion while circumventing skin motion artefact entirely, but employs ionising radiation, is restricted to low sampling frequencies, and requires time-consuming image processing. Recent advances in magnetic tracking using miniature sensors adhered to the teeth in combination with intraoral scanning may facilitate rapid and high precision mandibular kinematics measurement in the clinical setting. The findings of this review will guide selection and application of mandibular and TMJ kinematic measurement for both clinical and research applications.
