METHOD FOR RECORDING MAXIMUM OCCLUSION IN PATIENTS WITH GLOSSODYNIA Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61C13/07 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: rigid splint recording of the lower jaw position in relation to the upper jaw is prepared on a denture of one of the jaws. A surface of the recording splint is adjusted in relation to the denture surface of the other jaw. The patient is adapted to the optimum position of the jaws for at least two months to achieve a symmetrical position of heads of the maxillotemporal joints. The jaw casts are mounted in a regulated articulator with the use of an occlusion splint recording the jaw position to be thereafter removed, and a space for mounting prosthetic structures is formed. The optimum position of the heads of the maxillotemporal joints is determined by multispiral computed tomography findings, at least twice. For the first time - prior to the prosthodontic treatment, for the second time and further - upon completion of optimising the lower jaw position in relation to the upper jaw, and further - after the temporary fixation of the prosthetic structures in the patient's oral cavity.

EFFECT: method enables creating the optimum positions of the heads of the lower jaws in the maxillotemporal joints by using an occlusion splint as the maximum occlusion recorder.
