Abstract
This study was performed for Investigation of the magnitude of mandibular positional change in maximum mouth opening. protrusion, lateral excursion, gum and peanut chewing with BioPAK system(Bioresearch Inc. USA) which can analyze mandibular rotational torque movements. For this study 17 female patients with Temporomandibular joint(TMJ) closed lock and 18 female control without any Temporomandibular disorders(TMDs) signs and premature occlusal contact were included. The obtained results were as follows : 1. In maximum mouth opening, the mandibular rotational angle and distance of patients were significantly greater than those of control group in horizontal plane(P<0.05). 2. In protrusion, the mandibular rotational angle and distance of patients were significantly greater than those of control group in frontal and horizontal plane(P<0.01, P<0.05). 3. The mandibular rotational angle and 야stance in lateral excursion to affected side of patients were significantly greater than those in lateral excursion to non-affected side in frontal plane(P<0.05). 4. The mandibular rotational angle in gum chewing to affected side of patients was significantly greater than that in gum chewing to non-affected side in frontal plane. 5. The mandibular rotational angle and distance in peanut chewing to affected side of patients were significantly greater than those in peanut chewing to non-affected side in frontal and horizontal plane. 6. The mandibular rotational angle and distance in peanut chewing to affected side of patients were greater than those in gum chewing, and was the same result in control group in frontal and horizontal plane.
