In the conventional workflow of prosthetic and restorative dentistry, the patient's mandibular kinematics are usually recorded using devices such as the gothic arch, pantograph or axiograph, in order to then, when transferring it to the mechanical articulator, simulate the patient's real movements there (figure 1).

However, in the digital workflow of prosthetic and restorative dentistry, devices that allow to record the mandibular kinematics in a virtual way have been developed. Nevertheless, these devices have certain shortcomings: long assembly times, difficulties to use, high cost, etc. Therefore, the aim of this research line is to develop and validate a device for recording mandibular kinematics that meets the technical and economic needs of the current market.

The progress made to date in this research line has been disseminated through articles published in scientific journals and communications presented at international congresses.
