Hi
What do you want to know about it?
Laterotrusive movement-Made by the working side condyle on the lateral side.

Bennett movement/side shift/laterotrusion

It refers specifically to the condylar movement that takes place on the working side during lateral excursions.
As the name suggests, this movement is lateral to the initial CR position, but it can also have a forward, backward, upward or downward component, in which case the movement is called lateroprotrusion or lateroretrusion if the direction of travel is to the front or to the back respectively, or laterosurtrusion or laterodetrusion if movement is up or down.

Mediotrusion

Made by the non working condyle,& it moves forward,downward,medially.

Hope that helps.
