[The Bennet angle]

The size of the Bennett angle in dependency on the lateral excursion, the initial Bennett movement, and the intercondylar distance was calculated as a basis for correcting semi-individual articulator. The extent of the initial Bennett movement and the lateral excursion are distinctly influential; the intercondylar distance plays a subordinate role. The results of the calculations provide an indication of the size of the Bennett angle taking into account the initial Bennett movement, the latleral excursion of the mandible, and the width of the face.
