  • Title: Electronic PRI consistency in diagnosing temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
    Author: Beard CC, Clayton JA.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 1986 Feb; 55(2):255-9. PubMed ID: 3457157.
    Abstract:
    Pantographic reproducibility was compared using electronic and mechanical pantographs. The scores were calculated electronically or manually by a single scorer. It can be concluded that (1) with 65.4% of dysfunction-free patients, the electronic pantograph is more consistent than the mechanical pantograph within sessions and over time in recording PRI dysfunction, (2) operators with varying experience need not cause P-PRI fluctuations with dysfunction-free patients, and (3) PRI fluctuations can be caused by temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
