  • Jaw opening width
  • Speed of mandibular movement
  • Complexity of chewing kinematics​

Temporomandibular Joint

• Computerized Tomography of the TMJ
• Magnetic resonance imaging of the TMJ

Mandibular kinematic replicators

• Advantages and limits of  Kinematic replicators
  • Pantography
  • Axiography
  • Electrognatography

Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation
