The case’s specific needs should dictate the appropriate instrumentation for treatment. The benefit of the accuracy of the instrumentation must be weighed against the treatment time involved.

متن کاملRelationships of condylar path angle with malocclusion and temporomandibular joint disturbances.
A study was conducted to investigate the condylar path angle in relation to Angle's classification, amount of overbite and subjective symptoms. The condylar path angle in Angle's Class I group was similar to that in the Class II group. The angle in the Class III group was smaller than in the other two classes. A tendency for the angle to decrease as the amount of overbite became smaller was obs...
