Abstract
Functional disorders of the masticatory organ is a group of diseases characterized by the increasing frequency of instances whereby these disorders affect all age groups. Advances in technology and the application of specialized medical equipment facilitates the observation of masticatory organ disorders. Having regard to limitations associated with the use of clinical studies, a spatial model of the mandible kinematics was developed. Results of such model are obtained to enable accurate interpretation of data collected during clinical studies. The model formulated in the paper facilitates our understanding of the phenomena occurring during physiological mandible movements, also the results of modeling studies provide new information that has not yet been taken into account when analyzing the causes of dysfunction.

Highlights
Application of mechanics during motion analysis of living organisms led to the development of a new branch of science called biomechanics
In view of the division relied on biomechanics, this work should be counted among the clinical biomechanics of the masticatory organ
Biomechanical models that depict the changes occuring during movement of the mandible [4,5,6,7,8,9], provide an indication of the causes responsible for the masticatory organ dysfunctions
Summary
Application of mechanics during motion analysis of living organisms led to the development of a new branch of science called biomechanics. Biomechanical models that depict the changes occuring during movement of the mandible [4,5,6,7,8,9], provide an indication of the causes responsible for the masticatory organ dysfunctions. In this place it should be made clear that a biomechanical model’s formulated with a view to increasing knowledge, explains or predicts new events in a way that is faster, cheaper and safer for the patient. The results of modeling studies were carried out on the recorded measurement data, which were performed in Pomeranian Medical University
