The author conducted an experiment of recording side shift of the lateral mandibular movement and analyzing the timing of the side shift on the twenty-two non-functioning side condyles. As a result, clinically useful informations were obtained. The findings were as follows: 1. On all the non-functioning side condyle path, during the first four millimeters of forward movement, the change in the rate of the mandibular side shift was observed. 2. Band E types of the mandibular side shift ,which have shown a distinct rate of immediate side shift were fifteen condyles, and C type of the mandibular side shift which has shown the greatest rate of the side shift occurs early in the first four millimeters of forward movement was seven condyles. 3. A and D types which have shown generally progressive and distributed nature were not observed.
