Abstract
The aim of this study is to clarify and summarize the related concepts and nomenclature of mandibular rotation. In the first article wil be exposed the primary rotation, also called intramatrix rotation or morphogenetic rotation. It is the rotation between the mandibular corpus and the ascending ramus. It is anterior when the mandibular corpus rotates upward respect the mandibular line, and posterior when declines. This opposite rotations generate remodelings that cause different mandibular morphologies.
