The problem of spatial recording and analysing of mandibular movements was always of interest in dentistry. The permanent development of new technologies has resulted in a wide range of various methods and measuring systems for recording mandibular movements. However, only some of them have fulfilled a greater number of evaluation demands of modern measuring systems, which permit their industrial production. The paper discusses electrognathography as one of the most up-to-date methods widely used in the study of mandibular kinetics. The principles, performance and various possibilities of use of the two commercial electrognathographic apparatuses, now present on the world market, are presented. They are Sirognathograph (Siemens A.G., Bensheim, W. Germany) and Mandibular Kinesiograph (Myo-tronics Research, Seattle, U.S.A.)

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007574	Jaw Relation Record	A registration of any positional relationship of the mandible in reference to the maxillae. These records may be any of the many vertical, horizontal, or orientation relations.

D008334	Mandible	The largest and strongest bone of the FACE constituting the lower jaw. It supports the lower teeth.	Mylohyoid Groove,Mylohyoid Ridge,Groove, Mylohyoid,Grooves, Mylohyoid,Mandibles,Mylohyoid Grooves,Mylohyoid Ridges,Ridge, Mylohyoid,Ridges, Mylohyoid
D009068	Movement	The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior.	Movements
D003766	Dental Occlusion	The relationship of all the components of the masticatory system in normal function. It has special reference to the position and contact of the maxillary and mandibular teeth for the highest efficiency during the excursive movements of the jaw that are essential for mastication.
