Diagnostic abilities of three-dimensional electronic axiography on the basis of ARCUSdigma device.

Abstract

The ARCUSdigma is an electronic facebow enabling presentation and graphic analysis of mandibular movements on the computer screen. A kinematic hinge axis of the mandible can be determined using this device. The paper presents the diagnostic potential of the ARCUSdigma in relation to programming an articulator according to individual parameters of mandibular movements of the patient and its application in the diagnosis of temporo-mandibular joints.
