Question 180 · LDEK · Mandibular movements and articulators
Bennett’s angle is an angle between:
- A. the path of mandibular condyle during lateral movement, on the working and balancing side, projected in the vertical plane.
- B. the path of mandibular condyle during protrusive movement, and the path of the mandibular condyle during lateral movement on the balancing side, projected in the horizontal plane.
- C. the path of mandibular condyle during protrusive movement, and the path of the mandibular condyle during lateral movement on the balancing side, projected in the vertical plane.
- D. the path of the mandibular condyle during protrusive movement, and the path of the mandibular condyle during lateral movement on the working side, projected in the horizontal plane.
- E. the path of the mandibular condyle during lateral movement, on the working and balancing side, projected in the horizontal plane.
Hint
Bennett's angle reflects the medial shift of the non-working condyle; think which plane shows medial-lateral deviation.
