  • Title: The not-so-controversial issue of condylar position.
    Author: Gonzalez B.
    Journal: Int J Orthod Milwaukee; 2007; 18(2):17-26. PubMed ID: 17784574.
    Abstract:
    There are controversies that seem to transcend time and reason; one of these is condyle/disc/fossa positional relation in the normal asymptomatic temporomandibular joint. This article is based on an extensive literature search; it reveals that there are many areas of agreement, but condylar position remains the most contentious. This lack of agreement seems to be tied to different philosophical treatment approaches rather than to present available scientific evidence. The evidence appears to indicate that "centric" is the normal condylar position, very closely related to the Gelb 4/7 position.
