AB  - The primary aim of the study was to reveal whether the free opening movement of 
      the mandible can be determined by only 2 rotational axes as suggested in recent 
      literature. For this purpose, the free opening movement of the mandible was 
      registered in 20 asymptomatic patients using an ultrasonic measuring system. 
      Subsequently, the locations of the instantaneous centers of rotation (ICR) were 
      determined directly from the raw data. In a second approach, the same data were 
      used to construct a mandibular and maxillar rotational axis according to the 
      dimeric link chain (DLC) concept. On the basis of the angular velocities around 
      these 2 axes, the positions of the ICR were calculated in the sagittal-vertical 
      plane. Calculating the ICR by the DLC method provides similar results to that of 
      the conventional approaches. It can be concluded that the DLC method is a valid 
      approach and that considering the planar mandibular movement as a movement with 2 
      degrees of freedom is justified.
