RESUMO
The data suggest that correlation and regression relationship exists between dentition and temporomandibular joint parameters. A close correlation was found between the markedness of sagittal occlusion curve and the height of mandibular caput. The lower jaw width only fairly correlated with the distance between posterior wall of the articular fossa and mandibular caput, and with the height of that caput. The results can be used for construction of fully removable dentures.

Sagittal and transversal phenomena of Christensen were found to correlate with the structure of temporomandibular joints. The close correlation was found between the markedness of the phenomena, mandible forward and lateral shifts, and the height of articular head. A weak correlation was found between the markedness of the phenomena, articulation fissure width in anterior, upper and dorsal parts, and between sagittal dimension of articulation head and articulation fossa depth. The results can be used to construct dentitions in cases of full removable dentures.
