Background: To evaluate the feasibility of using panoramic radiographs as an alternative to an interocclusal recording method for determining the condylar guidance in dentate and edentulous conditions.
Materials And Methods: 20 dentulous individuals with an age range of 20-30 years and 20 edentulous patients of 40-65 years were selected. An interocclusal bite registration was done in protrusive position for all the subjects. Orthopantomographs were made for all patients in open mouth position. Hanau articulator was modified to record the angulations to the accuracy of 1°. Tracing of glenoid fossa on radiograph was done to measure the condylar guidance angles. Readings were recorded and analyzed by Freidman's test and t-test.
Results: Condylar guidance values obtained by the interocclusal method and radiographic method in dentate individuals on the right side and left side 40.55°, and 37.1°, and 40.15°, and 34.75°, respectively. In the edentulous individuals, the values on the right side and left side was 36.7° and 36.1° and 35.95° and 33.6,° respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P = < 0.001) in dentate group and was not statistically significant (P = 0.6493) in edentulous group.
Conclusion: Panoramic radiograph can be used as an alternative to interocclusal technique only in edentulous patients. Further studies comparing panoramic radiograph to jaw tracking devices would substantiate the results of this study.

Purpose: Optical tracking devices (OTDs) hold promise for enhancing patient-centered prostheses, but their efficacy remains underexplored. This clinical study aimed to comprehensively evaluate differences in static and dynamic occlusions among occlusal appliances fabricated using optical tracking, conventional tracking, and average articulator values (AAVs), providing insights into their efficacy in clinical and research-based practices.
Materials And Methods: Twelve dentate participants aged over 25 years, with Angle Class I and II occlusal relationships, were enrolled.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the condylar guidance values from two interocclusal recording materials—bite registration wax and bite registration paste—with those obtained from an orthopantomogram (OPG) in edentulous patients needing complete dentures.
- Using a Hanau H2 articulator, researchers documented horizontal condylar guidance after performing jaw relation recordings with both materials.
- Results showed that the bite registration paste (jet bite) provided condylar guidance values closer to those derived from the OPG, with mean differences of 10° for the paste and 20° for the wax in the subjects tested.
The Effect of Average Value Mounting and Facebow Transfer on Condylar Guidance Settings in a Semi-Adjustable Articulator - A Comparative Study using Digital Lateral Cephalographs in Edentulous Patients.

Background: While we attempt to restore occlusion in completely edentulous patients there is a consensus among clinicians to articulate the cast using average value and avoid performing facebow transfer. Various studies question the application of facebow transfer in the fabrication of removable complete denture fabrication.
Aim: This study was therefore aimed to study the effect on condylar guidance with casts mounted by the facebow method, Bonwill's method, and radiographic method.

The aim of this retrospective observational study was to introduce a comprehensive MRI evaluation criterion for the clinical management of synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ-SC). Patients received different treatments according to the MRI evaluation system: bone erosion, extent, articular disc condition, location, maturity, and size of loose body. At least a 2-year follow-up was completed to assess tumor recurrence, visual analogue scale score for pain (VAS) and maximum interincisal opening (MIO).
