The relation of canine guidance with laterotrusive movements at the incisal point and the working side condyle.

The effect of different types of canine guidance on the patterns of laterotrusive tracing at the incisal point and the relationship between the laterotrusive inclinations and the working side condylar movements were investigated in 42 young subjects. The subjects were divided into M and D groups according to their mesial and distal canine guidance, and were also divided into protrusive laterotrusion (PL) and retrusive laterotrusion (RL) groups according to their laterotrusive tracing patterns. No differences of laterotrusive inclinations and working side condylar movements were found between the M and D groups. The laterotrusive tracing pattern had no corresponding association with the type of canine guidance. In relation to the movements of the working side condyles, significant differences were found between the PL and RL groups. The condyles moved laterally and posteriorly in the RL group, but moved lateral and inferior in the PL one. The distance of condylar movement in the X direction was correlated with the horizontal and sagittal inclinations of laterotrusion. The results indicate that the movements of the working side condyle were affected functionally by the laterotrusion, but not by either the mesial or the distal type of canine guidance.
