Question 114 (part 2) · LDEK · Mandibular movements and articulators

In order to allow for proper rotation of the condylar process and fluid protrusion of a mandible with disclusion of the lateral teeth (Chirstensen’s phenomenon) it is advised for the incisal guiding to:

  1. A. be lower than the articular guidance.
  2. B. be even or up to 15 degrees higher than the articular guidance .
  3. C. be higher up to 30 degrees than the articular guidance.
  4. D. must be exactly 5 to 10 degrees.
  5. E. must be exactly 60 to 85 degrees.
Hint

For posterior disclusion during protrusion, the anterior guidance must be at least as steep as the condylar guidance.
