METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DENTAL MODEL DEVELOPMENT Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61C13/00 A61C11/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to medicine, namely to dental orthopaedics, and aims at developing a physical or virtual dental model as a supplement for making a dental implant. The method involves imaging upper and lower jaws, a motion field of the temporomandibular joint in disclusion, a contact region of the teeth in occlusion and in an extensive field of motion. A path of travel between the lower and upper jaws is calculated. Making the dental implant is ensured by using a fastening device taking into account the patient's diagnostic information, comprising the fastening device with a lower part and an upper part movable in relation thereto. The upper part represents the upper jaw, while the lower part is the lower jaw. Three-dimensional digital data of the lower and upper jaws, as well as occlusion in the central position are taken into account to calculate the motion and limitations fields of the jaws in relation to each other.

EFFECT: by using the individual patient's data, the group of inventions enables the temporomandibular joint compliance, developing the supplementary model providing the substantial saving of consumable materials and reducing the time for developing the physical and virtual dental model.
