Abstract
The discrepancy between centric relation and centric occlusion have a great role on the successful prosthodontic and occlusal treatment. This study was performed to investigate the effect of the discrepancy between centric relation and centric occlusion on condylar guidance inclination and Bennett shift (immediate and progressive side shift). Sixteen adults who have physiologically normal occlusion and are free of TMJ dysfunction were selected. The amount of the sagittal CR-CO discrepancy in lower anterior incisor was obtained by Saphon Visi-Trainer. The amount of the CR-CO discrepancy in condylar level was measured on the individualized corrected tomography. Pantronic survey was performed by using a arbitrary hinge axis according to manufacturer's direction. All subjects were divided into two groups, group I (small) and group II (large), according to the amount of CR-CO discrepancy. At first the amount of the CR-CO discrepancy in condylar level between two groups was compared and then the condylar guidance inclination and Bennett shift between two groups were compared and analyzed. The results were as follows; 1. The average CR-CO discrepancy in lower anterior incisors was 0.7mm superoinferiorly, 0.49mm anteroposteriorly, and 0.88 mm in total. The average CR-CO discrepancy in condylar level was 0.43mm. 2. The CR-CO discrepancy measured on teeth level and condylar level were highly correlated (p<0.01). 3. The correlation of the condylar position in the glenoid fossa between two groups was not statistically significant. 4. The large CR-CO discrepancy group showed greater amount of Bennett shift and condylar guidance inclination, but there is no statistical significancy. 5. It seems that the CR-CO discrepancy have greater effect on progressive side shift than other elements of mandibular movements.
