ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the variation in movement traces of different condylar reference points.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>In 30 healthy subjects, mandibular movements were recorded during protrusion and open-closing of the jaw. The kinematic center and terminal hinge axis point of the condyle were used as reference points.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The kinematic center was located anteriorly and superiorly with respect to the terminal hinge axis point. The trace distance of the kinematic center was longer than that of the terminal hinge axis point of the condyle during opening. In contrast to differences in trace distances of the left and right condylar terminal hinge axis points, no such left-right differences were found for the kinematic centers. The ratio between the distance of opening trace and the distance of protrusion trace of the kinematic center was above 1.5.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>In comparison to the terminal hinge axis, the kinematic center shows fewer variations in the movement traces.</p>
