METHOD OF DIAGNOSING FUNCTIONAL STATE OF DENTITION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61B5/103 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to dentistry, and is intended for application in diagnostics of dental status and determination of quality of treatment of dental patients. Area of statokinesiogram ellipse is measured by computer stabilometry in the following positions of examined person: with closed eyes (CE), dentitions in position of central occlusion (CO), dentitions in position of anterior occlusion (AO), with widely open mouth (OM), dentitions in position of bilateral occlusion separation (BOS), dentitions in position of right-side occlusion separation (ROS), dentitions in position of left-side occlusion separation (LOS). Obtained values are compared with value of closed eyes test (CE). Results of comparison are calculated in points. Deviation from first test less than 50% is taken as 0 points, deviation 50-100% - as 1 point, and more than 100% deviation - as 2 points. If total number of points in CO and AO is from 2 to 4, as well as if total number of points in positions OM, BOS, ROS, LOS is from 0 to 2, safe functional state of dentition is diagnosed. If total number of points in CO and AO is from 2 to 4, as well as if total number of points in positions OM, BOS, ROS, LOS is from 3 to 5, decreased functional state of dentition is diagnosed. If total number of points in CO and AO is less than 2 and/or total number of points in positions OM, BOS, ROS, LOS is from 6 to 8, sharply decreased functional state of dentition is diagnosed.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to increase reliability of dentition dysfunction diagnostics due to carrying out additional tests and introduction of point system for estimation of examination results.
