Functional Removable Prosthetic Rehabilitation Using the Electronic Condylograph: A Case Report

Abstract

This article describes the design of complete removable prostheses following the Slavicek philosophy, which involves the integration between condylographic data and an individual cephalometric study of the patient. The electronic condylograph is a device that records the mandibular movements made by the patient. This case report shows how condylography data are useful not only in the individual articulator setting, but also for diagnostic completion and for planning a functional prosthetic rehabilitation.
