Best Answer

the movement of mandible toward lateral causes movement in both right and left condyles. For example, if one moves one's mandible (lower jaw) toward right, the right conlye moves laterally and the left goes downward, forward, and medially, so the left condyle is defined as nonworking and the right condyle as working. the movement of nonworking condyle,in this example left condyle, forms an angle between sagittal plan and direction of nonworking condyle, which is called Bennett angle.
