Abstract : [Abstract] This study tested whether the anterior open bite is associated with a greater separation of the excursive and incursive condylar movements than is seen in subjects with a normal bite. Fifty Japanese with an anterior open bite as well as 50 Japanese with a normal bite underwent computerized recordings of hinge axis movements. The maximum divergence of the excursive and incursive hinge axis tracings was quantified for protrusion, open and close, and lateral movements with and without the manual guidance of the examiner. The anterior open bite group showed a maximum separation of the hinge axis paths equivalent to the normal bite group (means from 0.4 to 0.9mm). Only the right side mediotrusion movements showed a significant difference of the maximum divergences between both groups (p<0.05). Within each group there were significant differences in the separations when comparing open-and-close vs. protrusion or mediotrusion movements. This indicated an influence from the rotation of the mandible, associated with more divergence of the condyle path. Considering the gender, the maximum separation showed few significant sex differences in both the anterior open bite and normal bite groups.
