A thorough knowledge of mandibular movements is essential to plan teeth arrangement and articulator selection so that artificial prosthesis is in harmony with stomatognathic system. This video describes the rotational, translational, functional and mandibular movements with teeth contact. Hinge movement is a purely rotational movement of the joint.
