Conventional methods for measuring mandibular movement are expensive and require
headgear and a marker attached to the mandibular incisors. These make assessment of …

The aim of this study was to confirm the precision of our simple and inexpensive jaw tracking
system which combined the use of a digital camcorder and a motion capture software …

Statement of problem. Knowledge of mastication is based on studies that use jaw tracking
equipment in nonroutine settings. Ethologists would argue that such data probably does not …

In an assessment of the reproducibility of three-dimensional masticatory movements by an
optoelectronic method, the tests conducted on the same individuals at different times …

This study proposed the development of a new clinical tool capable of quantifying the
movements of opening-closing, protrusion and laterotrusion of the mandible. These …

Kinesiography can be used as a diagnostic tool in a dental clinic context. In the current
study, a kinesiograph was used to detect and record the three-dimensional motion of the …

The analysis of jaw movements has long been used as a measure for clinical diagnosis and
assessment. A number of strategies are available for monitoring the trajectory; however most …

Previously, we have used bivariate correlations of maximum and minimum displacement,
velocity and acceleration variables to compare masticatory chin and jaw movements (J …

The aims of this thesis were, firstly, to develop a method for three-dimensional recording of
mandibular movements based on available optoelectronic devices, and to evaluate the …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between mastication
and head posture using foods with different degrees of hardness. A total of 12 healthy …
