How is incisal guidance measured?
In degrees from horizontal plane
The amount that mandible must drop in anterior is determined by
incisal guidance
The amount that mandible must drop in posterior is determined by
angle of articular eminence (condylar guidance)

inclination of articular eminence
Medial wall of glenoid fossa
Intercondylar distance
Anterior determinant of mandibular movement
Horizontal overlap
Vertical overlap
Other determinants of mandibular movement
