| 20100143859 | Face-Bow - A dental face-bow comprising a base part, two side arms that extend from the base part and two positioning elements, for example ear pieces for positioning the face-bow on the head of the patient. The positioning elements are situated on the side arms and can be displaced in relation to the side arms. The face-bow is also provided with a displacement device which is used to simultaneously displace the two positioning elements in relation to the side arms. To drive the positioning elements, a dial, which is situated on the base part, can be used for example to turn a flexible shaft that is rotatably mounted inside the two side arms. the two ends of the shaft are equipped with gears that co-operate with gear rods on the positioning elements. This arrangement permits the face-bow to be placed on a patient extremely gently, as there is in particular no relative displacement of the side arms. The face-bow is also provided with a nose support, which can not only be displaced in the longitudinal direction in relation to the base part, but can also be pivoted about a horizontal axis that runs laterally. The face-bow can thus be aligned in a particularly accurate manner with the infra-orbital point in accordance with the shape and size of each patient's head. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20120237892 | Electronic Register Device for Recording Jaw Movements - An electronic register device for recording movements of the lower jaw of a person relative to the upper jaw of the person, the device having a bite fork for recording a position of the upper jaw relative to reference points on the head of the person, wherein the bite fork is designed to receive a plastic compound for recording an impression of the dentition of the upper jaw | 09-20-2012 |
| 20120237891 | TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISLOCATION REDUCTION ROLLER - A medical/dental instrument that is a temporomandibular joint dislocation reduction roller is provided. The temporomandibular joint dislocation reduction roller assists reduction of a dislocated temporomandibular joint. The temporomandibular joint dislocation reduction roller reduces the risk of injury to the patient as well as to the health care professional during the reduction procedure. A method for using the temporomandibular joint dislocation reduction roller for efficient reduction of an anterior dislocation of the temporomandibular joint is also provided. | 09-20-2012 |
| 20080280250 | Facial plane relator - A facial plane relator has an arch, a horizontal plane and a vertical plane. The arch has an outer edge with a protrusion having two ends, an outer edge, a through hole and a clamp. The through hole is defined transversely through the ends of the protrusion. The clamp is mounted on the outer edge of the protrusion. The horizontal plane is mounted longitudinally in the through hole and has a front, a rear and two horizontal openings defined through the horizontal plane from the front to the rear. The vertical plane is clamped by the clamp of the arch, allows the vertical plane to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane and has a front, a rear and two vertical openings defined through the vertical plane from the front to the rear. The facial plane relator is aligned conveniently and accurately with patient's face through the vertical and horizontal openings. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20080311539 | ORTHODONTIC FACEBOW - The invention provides an orthodontic facebow of the type, having an inner bow consisting of two inner arms, each including an end portion, and an interconnected outer bow consisting of outer arms, characterized in that the free end portion of each inner arm is self-locking element to realize by means of placing lever in form of segment of a circle or placing lever into split and fixing to inner with help axle and with possibility tuning so as to allow it to be easily inserted facebow in buccal tube and after inserted lever tune and stopping facebow, and then for facilitating removal facebow from buccal tube need to combine said levers with each inner arms. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20120244490 | Head Positioning Instrument - A head positioning instrument is provided for accurately modeling the position of a patient's jaw for orthodontic, prosthodontic, dental, or orthognatic surgery treatment planning The horizontal distance between a pair of reference points that are visible on an x-ray are measured. These reference points are then utilized to ensure that substantially true vertical and substantially true horizontal are reflected in a radiograph. The patient's lower jaw hinge is accurately located, and the upper jaw is located using a bite fork attached to the lower jaw hinge axis locator. The bite fork assembly contained within the lower jaw hinge axis locator is removed from the head positioning instrument and transferred to an axis mounting stand for accurate reproduction of the spatial positioning of the patient's upper jaw. The patient's individual characteristics are accurately preserved throughout the transfer and modeling process, resulting in accurate correspondence between the model and radiograph. | 09-27-2012 |
| 20110136073 | DENTAL MEASURING DEVICE - Dental devices are disclosed which allows a dental laboratory to accurately create upper front teeth and dentures to the dentist's specific instructions. The interpupillary line and the incisal lines are used to fabricate teeth which are more symmetrical and therefore are more esthetically pleasing than prior devices and procedures. The angle and the distance between the interpupillary line and the incisal line are measured and recorded with a smile guide device. | 06-09-2011 |
