| Abstract | ||
| Background: The intercondylar distance can change the radius of movement and affect the arcs traveled by the cusps during lateral mandibular excursions in the horizontal plane. The aim of this study was to record and compare the intercondylar distances of male and female patients requiring full mouth rehabilitation by using arbitrary and kinematic face-bows. Materials and methods: Interfacial widths of fifty asymptomatic male and female full mouth rehabilitation patients were recovered from arbitrary and kinematic face-bows. Intercondylar distances were recorded and statistically compared. Results: Results indicated that arbitrary and kinematic intercondylar distances of male patients were significantly greater than females indicating asymmetry in locating the condylar axes of rotation in both sexes. Conclusion: The majority of intercondylar distances of patients were more than 110 mm indicating that an articulator with an adjustable intercondylar distance would be more anatomically correct for the treatment of full mouth rehabilitation cases | ||
