FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: group of inventions includes a device for diagnosis of movements and forces of the lower jaw dentition relative to the upper jaw dentition and a method of diagnosis using the device, refers to the field of medicine and can be used in dental practice. The device for diagnosis of movements and forces of the lower jaw dentition relative to the upper jaw dentition contains a carrier fastened to the dentition or on the tooth or on a dental structure or inside a dental structure or on the gum, and on which at least one sensor is located for real-time registration of the investigated parameter associated with lower jaw functioning, as well as an electronic unit with the function of obtaining measurement data and their processing, a power unit and unit for measurement data transmission to the external receiving computerized means. The carrier is made in the form of a flexible or rigid plate, on which the electronic unit in the form of a microprocessor, a measurement data transmission unit made in the form of a process connector for wire communication or a wireless communication module, and a sensor or sensors made with different functions for measurement of the investigated parameters are fixed, and a power supply made in the form of at least one battery, or a wired power module or a wireless power module, is located next to the carrier, mechanically associated with it and electrically connected to the components on the carrier. The method for diagnosis of movements and forces of the lower jaw dentition relative to the upper jaw dentition is performed by the device.
EFFECT: possibility of obtaining a reliable picture of movements and efforts of the lower jaw dentition relative to the upper jaw dentition to obtain a diagnosis and choose a method of treatment.
