RESUMO
The results indicate that the reproducibility of the hinge axis of mandibular movement with an accuracy of less than a few millimeters is almost impossible. The results also show that a facebow constructed on the basis of the average measurements is adequate for the general dental practice.

361 patients, who five years previously were supplied with removable partial protheses, were submitted to Krogh-Poulson clinical function analyses. The test showed no suggestion of functional disturbances in only 12% of patients. Investigations showed that the test should be improved as to reliability, objectivity and validity before being used as a screening procedure in practice.
