Horizontal condylar angle. The lateral and medial poles of the mandibular condyle in the closed-mouth position are connected, and a transverse line is drawn to connect the posterior region from right to left. The imaginary transverse line passes through the basion and is perpendicular to the midsagittal plane. The horizontal condylar angle is the angle between the transverse line and the line connecting the medial and lateral poles of the mandibular condyle.
