The Use of Motion Pictures in an Analysis of the Masticating Cycle
A frame-by-frame projection of motion-picture film is used in an analysis of the human masticatory cycle. The position of the jaw on each frame is digitized on IBM cards and the information from the cards is plotted electronically to form a graphic tracing of the jaw movement. A knowledge of jaw movement during mastication is important in determining the tooth form for both fixed and removable dental restorations.
