METHOD FOR RECORDING MANDIBLE MOVEMENTS Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61C19/45 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves measuring and recording articulation and incisor paths sagittal shift and transverse movements. Mandibular movements are recorded by means of special-purpose device. The articulation, incisor and sagittal paths are determined by means of the first gnathotransducer recording maximum right and left shifts of the mandible. The first gnathotransducer operating, the second one is idle. The gnathotransducers transform spatial displacements of the mandible into electric signals, register and save them. Device has T-shaped metal plates having upper parts rigidly connected to head phones and the lower parts to occipital and subocular arch, two rheostat gnathotransducer fixed on subocular arch in perpendicular to each other and connected to recording device and power supply source via switch, rigid sling having threaded bushing, probe and lock-nut connected to the T-shaped metal plates by means of rubber tie-rods.

EFFECT: high operation accuracy; improved dental prosthesis quality.
