Abstract
The angular values of the CSP registered from 390 patients and obtained by tracing a tangent to the graph with the GR were analyzed. The data subjected to statistical analysis gave a median angular value of the CSP equal to 33 degrees and showed a great median value dispersion. A low error index was obtained in tracing the tangent to the CSP tracing with the GR method. The angular values of the CSP were repeatable over time since the variations found were less than 5 degrees. Variations of the CSP greater than 5 degrees were noted after repeated registrations in patients with TMJ disturbances as well as in patients treated with complete dentures. These data show the necessity for an individual measurement of the CSP value, especially in patients who need extensive readjustments of the prosthesis.
