Calculation of mean angle values of sagittal and transversal joint tracks basing upon the data of electron axiography and their possible clinical value

Calculation of mean angle values of sagittal and transversal joint tracks basing upon the data of electron axiography was done with the help of KADIAKS compact system ("Gamma Dental", Austria) in 58 patients. It was determined that sagittal joint tracks for articulator systems with direct trajectory were on the right side 50.17±11.02° for 3 mm, 49.09±10.43° for 5 mm and 43.09±9.10° for 10 mm, on the left side - 54.84±10.09° for 3 mm, 53.95±9.52° for 5 mm and 49.31±8.62° for 10 mm; for the articulator Reference SL with curved trajectory were on the right side 44.38±11.40° for 3 mm, 45.76±10.61° for 5 mm and 45.39±8.92° for 10 mm, on the left side - 49.16±10.64° for 3 mm, 50.45±9.74° for 5 mm and 51.77±8.68° for 10 mm. Transversal joint tracks for the articulator Reference SL were on the right side 6.96±6.51° for 3 mm, 7.50±5.88° for 5 mm and 7.22±5.08° for 10 mm. Considerable values of standard deviations and irregular distribution of signs in the limits of studied statistical pooled data made doubtful possible clinical use of mean angle values of sagittal and transversal joint tracks.
