METHOD OF FORMING OCCLUSIVE SURFACE OF DENTITION Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: dental technics. SUBSTANCE: diagnostic models of both jaws are manufactured and their space arrangement is recorded. Motion of lower jaw is examined and, on diagnostic model, occlusive surface of dentition is restored, from which bite blocks are then manufactured. The latter are perforated in the regions of specified points, cavity of tooth(s) is prepared, and bite blocks are placed onto dentition. Afterwards, on the bottom of prepared tooth cavity, hollows coaxial with bite block perforations are executed to be used for fixation of glassceramic sticks. Bite blocks are then removed and composite filling, photopolymerization, and polishing are consecutively executed. EFFECT: eliminated possible complications associated with occlusive disturbances.
