Abstract
This article describes the design of complete removable prostheses following the Slavicek philosophy, which involves the integration between condylographic data and an individual cephalometric study of the patient. The electronic condylograph is a device that records the mandibular movements made by the patient. This case report shows how condylography data are useful not only in the individual articulator setting, but also for diagnostic completion and for planning a functional prosthetic rehabilitation.
Highlights
Tooth loss seriously affects the quality of the patients’ lives, in terms of the repercussions on a physical and functional level, and for the social and psychological discomfort that follows
The clinical use of the electronic condylograph can be of great support for a functional analysis [8,9]
The aim of this article is to show how the electronic condylograph may provide the parameters for articulator setting, as well as information about the neuromuscular system, the morphofunctional state of the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), and the reciprocal connection between the mandibular dynamics and dental occlusion [9,10,11,12]
Summary

The aim of this article is to show how the electronic condylograph may provide the parameters for articulator setting, as well as information about the neuromuscular system, the morphofunctional state of the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), and the reciprocal connection between the mandibular dynamics and dental occlusion [9,10,11,12]. To this end, the JMAnalyser + (Zebris Medical GmbH, Isny im Allgäu, Germany), an ultrasonic motioncapture device supported by the software program “WINJAW+” (Zebris Medical GmbH, Isny im Allgäu, Germany), was used
