Device for recording vertical and centric occlusion positions of edentulous jaws
AlZain, Sahar . 2018
The device for recording vertical and centric occlusion positions of edentulous jaws is a tool which allows a dental practitioner to maintain maxillary and mandibular record bases (and their respective wax rims) in their respective vertical and centric occlusion positions during transfer of the maxillary and mandibular record bases to a conventional dental articulator. A pair of telescopically adjustable rods are provided for measuring the vertical occlusion position of the patient's edentulous jaws. Each of the telescopically adjustable rods has a selectively adjustable and lockable height, with the opposed ends thereof being releasably secured to the maxillary and mandibular record bases, respectively. The telescopically adjustable rods are also horizontally adjustable with respect to the maxillary and mandibular record bases, allowing the centric occlusion position of the patient's edentulous jaws to be recorded.
