METHOD FOR SIMULATING INDIVIDUAL DENTAL PROSTHESIS AND DEVICE FOR IMPLEMENTING IT Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61C11/00 A61C19/04 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to medicine, particularly to orthopaedic dentistry, and aims at simulating therapeutic dental prosthesis taking into account habitual movements of a human lower jaw. The method for simulating an individual dental prosthesis involves placing cast models from upper and lower jaws on magnetic carriers in habitual occlusion into an inter-frame space of the device presented in the form of an articulator, adjusting the articulator considering the individual data via electronic axiography. A movable platform of the articulator is used for spatial motion along the six free coordinates of the cast model of the lower jaw. A device for implementing the method is presented in the form of an articulator consisting of a body for mounting the device on the surface and placing the magnetic seats of the casts of the upper and lower jaws in the inter-frame space; there are also provided movable platform, control and graphic user interface unit, as well as a control interface unit and a servo control. The movable platform is used for spatial motion along the six free coordinates and attached to a body element whereto the lower jaw is fastened using a magnetic seat. The PC-based control and graphic user interface unit is used for automatic and distant manual control of the movable platform. The control interface unit is used to translate electronic axiography logs and to match the PC and electronic control interface parameters. The servo control is used to actuate the movable platform.

EFFECT: more individual simulation of the dental prostheses thereby reducing manufacturing errors of the dental prostheses.
