Poliklinik für Kieferorthopadie der Universität Munchen.

The program of the Stereognathograph V for localization of the hinge axis has been experimentally verified. Auxiliary recording devices have been mounted on an articulator and the process of localization has been simulated. On an average, the joint axis can be located in the articulator with an accuracy of 0.6 mm. In individual cases, errors may be up to 1.5 mm.
