abstract: The Purpose of the Paper. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of selected parameters of mandible movements, electronically registered in @entity0 with @entity1 and healthy ones. Material. Function test of the mandible movements was conducted in 175 @entity0 . Gender distribution was 143 @entity0 and 32 @entity0 , aged 9 to 84. Methods. The studied population, after accurate clinical examination, was divided into age groups with the range of five years. All the @entity0 had Zebris JMA computerized facebow examination done, according to the generally accepted principles and procedures. Results. Mean values of mouth opening calculated to 45.6   mm in healthy group and 37.6   mm in @entity1 dysfunction group. Mean length of condylar path amounted to 39    7% of the maximum value of mouth opening in the group of healthy @entity0 , 44    11% in the case of muscle-based disorders, and 35    11% with joint-based. The mean value of the condylar path inclination oscillated in the range of 25   to 45  . Conclusions. The ratio of length of the condylar path to the size of mouth opening may be a significant value characterising the type and degree of intensification of the @entity2 .
