A Study for Determining the Inclination of the Occlusal Plane from the Mandibular Functional Trajectory

Figure 2

The closing angle during masticatory movement and tapping movement. (a) Six points were set on the trajectory of masticatory jaw movement, 5.0 mm, 4.0 mm, 3.0 mm, 2.0 mm, 1.0 mm, and 0.5 mm. Four points were set on the trajectory of tapping jaw movement, 2.0 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.0 mm, and 0.5 mm. (b) Closing angle at the 5.0-mm point.
