In clinical prosthetic dentistry the occlusal planes were represented to the dental arch form sagittally and composed of the occlusion morphologically. From now on the determinations of the occlusal planes were done through the facebow transfer and the cephalometric radiography, but they were not exact method for the diagnosis of the stomagnathic function. The purpose of this study is to examine the sagittal characteristics of occlusal planes using panoramic view between the normal subjects and the subjects with stomatognathic dysfunction. 60 normal subjects and 16 subjects with stomatognathic dysfunction were slectec for this investigation. We measured the inclination of occlusal planes to Frankfurt Horizontal plane. The occlusal planes were divided into 4 groups : 1) The plane between the midpoint of upper central incisor and the mesiobuccal cusp of upper 1st molar, 2) The plane between the midpoint of upper central incisor and the mesiobuccal cusp of upper 2nd molar, 3) The plane between the midpoint of upper central incisor and the distobuccal cusp of upper 2nd molar, 4) The plane between the mesiobuccal cusp of 1st molar and the distobuccal cusp of 2nd molar. The results were as follows : 1) The occlusal planes could be determined very easy by using panoramic view, 2) Among the angles between the occlusal planes and the FH plane, the angles related with the 2nd molar were more steep than those of the 1st molar. The angle between the 1st molar and the 2nd molar is the most steep in the other angles. 3) In the angles between occlusal planes and FH plane, the subjects with stomatognathic dysfunction were more significant steep(p<0.05) than the normal subjects.
