METHOD FOR MEASURING ON STONE MODELS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61C19/04 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to orthopaedic dentistry, and is applicable when verifying a prosthetic teeth setup in relation to skull and face markers at any stage of prosthetic construction simulation, including the stage of wax model replacement by a prosthetic material. The plaster model is pre-plastered into an articulator by specific anatomical landmarks. The model taken from the articulator is placed with its base formed in the articulator on a horizontal top of a table. A digital camera is used to photograph a lower jaw model from the right and left. An upper jaw model is photographed from the right, left and from the front. The digital images are inserted onto the computer. The measurements are taken with using Photoshop CS software wherein the denture parameters are fixed using a ruler instrument.

EFFECT: method enables providing higher reliability and accuracy of the prosthetic teeth setup, measuring the denture geometry on the jaw model pre-plastered into the articulator of any of the known systems according to any of the known methods of mounts due to a possibility to measure the denture geometry considering a natural masticatory jaw position functional for the given patient.
