Effects of occlusal therapy on pantographic reproducibility of mandibular border movements. 1978

B J Crispin, and G E Myers, and J A Clayton

A clinical experiment was undertaken to study the relationship between occlusal therapy and pantographic reproducibility. Twenty-six subjects were categorized according to their ability to reproduce pantographic border movements and were put into either a control nonreproducible, control reproducible, or experimental nonreproducible group. From each subject a sequence of five pantographic surveys consisting of two morning and two afternoon pantographic recordings was taken. Each survey period lasted a minimum of 30 days. The experimental subjects alone were given occlusal splint therapy and occlusal adjustment therapy during the sequence of recall periods. The relationship between the effect caused by occlusal therapy and pantographic reproducibility was analyzed. For the purpose of analysis, the pantographic recordings were assessed a numerical score using a pantographic reproducibility index. A double-blind technique was used until all data were collected.
