This group exhibited a distal position of the mandible (Table 3) and TMD. C l i n i c a l c a s e A patient came to our clinic after a previous treat- ment performed in another private clinic. She com- plained of great discomfort in the TMJ area. The previous treatment had included the extraction of the second premolars of the lower jaw. The follow- ing diagnostic scheme was carried out in our clinic, according to the protocol for patients with TMD: 1) anthropometric studies of digital jaw models (3-D scanning); 2) radiographic diagnosis; and 3) morpho-functional diagnosis using a kinesio- graph (Figs. 12 & 13), which showed a signif- icant frontal block, a distal position of the mandible, TMD and a rotation of the occlusal plane. During the one-year treatment in our depart- ment, the second premolar regions were re- gained and prepared for implant placement (Figs. 14a–c). After the treatment, the kinesio- graphic data showed significant improvements. The myocentric graph indicated a change of the mandibular movement direction, the laterotru- sion graph revealed normalization of the occlu- sal plane and the protrusion graph showed elim- ination of the frontal block (Fig. 13).
