METHOD OF OBTAINING IDENTICAL BITTER IMAGES OF OCCLUSOGRAM Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A61C13/00 G02B26/10 

FIELD: medicine; dentistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used to diagnose the state of the dentition, measure the areas of occlusal contacts, assess the nature of the closure of teeth, identify premature contacts, the zone of absence of closure of the teeth, the nature of the closure, which is very important in the clinic of dentistry for diagnosis dental patients with diseases of the temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles and the choice of treatment plan. This method allows to remotely examine patients without significant costs and efforts, to obtain data on the state of occlusal contacts of antagonizing teeth, to diagnose the dentoalveolar system, the areas of occlusal surfaces of antagonizing teeth. To obtain a fixed imprint of the relief of the occlusal surfaces of the antagonizing teeth, a raster image of the occlusion surface was obtained. The resulting raster image of the occlusion surface characterizes the characteristic points of occlusal contacts and the near-contact zones of each pair of antagonistic teeth, which makes it possible to determine the characteristics of occlusal contacts and near-contact zones. To obtain "Identical raster images of occlusograms" it is required to create a blank, it's easy to do even at home. A sheet of thick white paper measuring 295 mm * 210 mm is taken, the center of the sheet is determined and a cross is drawn, the lines are strictly perpendicular to each other, after that horizontal and vertical lines are drawn through the center to the edge of the sheet, then retreating 50 mm from the center points on the horizontal and vertical lines are put, then the 4th points are connected and a square with sides of 100 mm is obtained. Next, the previously obtained occlusogram is placed in this square, fixed with a transparent adhesive tape and this design is placed on the scanner glass (almost any scanner can be used, the image accuracy will depend on the optical properties of the scanning device) with the occlusogram down on the glass, and the sheet on top. Then the program for scanning is opened, in our case "Kyocera ECOSYS M2530dn KX", but one can also use "ABBYY FineReader 14\FineReader.exe " or any available program for scanning the image, select "Full Color", "Photo" in the settings. Next, the "Scan" command is selected and a "bitmap identical image of the occlusogram" is obtained.

EFFECT: invention provides obtaining identical bitmap images of occlusograms.
