CadiaxCadiaxAn electronic device that records the movement of the left and right jaw joints in three dimensions, on both sides at once, as the lower jaw moves.Temporomandibular disordersOrthodonticsDenturesCrownsLearn more→ Intraoral Gothic Arch TracingIntraoral gothic arch tracingIntraoral Gothic Arch TracingIntraoral gothic arch tracingIntraoral gothic arch tracing is a method in which a small recording device is placed in the mouth to record the paths of the lower jaw as it moves.DenturesLearn more→ Lateral CephalometryLateral cephalometric analysisA method of examining the skeleton numerically from a side-view X-ray, such as the position of the upper and lower jaws relative to each other and the height of the face.Temporomandibular disordersOrthodonticsDenturesCrownsLearn more→ Sectioned CastSectioned castA model of the dental arch cut apart between the teeth, so that each tooth can be taken out and checked one by one.Temporomandibular disordersOrthodonticsDenturesCrownsLearn more→ Occlusal Plane MeasurementOcclusal plane measurementAn examination that uses an instrument to express as a number the inclination of the plane where the upper and lower teeth meet (the occlusal plane).Temporomandibular disordersOrthodonticsDenturesCrownsLearn more→ BruxCheckerBruxCheckerBruxChecker is a very thin sheet that is worn on the teeth during sleep to record which teeth made contact, and how, during tooth grinding in sleep.Temporomandibular disordersOrthodonticsLearn more→ Pupillary Light ReflexPupillary light reflex (Iriscorder Dual)A method that records the change in pupil size when light is shone into the eye and expresses it as numbers.Temporomandibular disordersLearn more→ Heart Rate VariabilityHeart rate variability (HRV)Heart rate variability (HRV) refers to the slight fluctuations in the interval from one heartbeat to the next.Temporomandibular disordersLearn more→ ElectromyographyElectromyography (EMG)Electromyography (EMG) records, as waveforms, the electrical changes that occur when muscles work.Temporomandibular disordersLearn more→ Bacteria & Saliva TestsBacterial and saliva testsA bacterial test checks the acid-producing bacteria in the mouth by culturing them.Temporomandibular disordersOrthodonticsLearn more→ Mucosal RecordsMucosal recordsMucosal records are records for capturing the shape of the gums (mucosa) that support a denture according to how biting force is applied, and expressing it in the shape of the denture.DenturesLearn more→ Articulator (Reference SL)Girrbach Reference SL articulatorA device that is set to the values measured for each patient and reproduces jaw movement and the bite on models of the upper and lower teeth.Temporomandibular disordersOrthodonticsDenturesCrownsLearn more→ Sequential OcclusionSequential occlusionSequential occlusion is a bite built so that, when the lower jaw moves sideways, the teeth separate one after another starting from the back, and teeth such as the canines guide the movement.Temporomandibular disordersOrthodonticsDenturesCrownsLearn more→ Austrian GnathologyAustrian gnathologyAustrian gnathology is a theory of occlusion that takes as its starting point how the jaws and teeth have been shaped over the course of human evolution and through growth and development after birth.Temporomandibular disordersOrthodonticsDenturesCrownsLearn more→ Artificial Tooth ArrangementArtificial tooth arrangementThe step of deciding where, and at what angle, to place the artificial teeth of a denture, based on skeletal analysis and jaw joint records.DenturesLearn more→ FEM-based Denture DesignDenture design based on the finite element methodAn approach to denture design that plans the denture so that the teeth supporting a partial denture receive only forces of a physiological direction and magnitude.DenturesLearn more→ Therapeutic Jaw PositionTherapeutic jaw positionThe therapeutic jaw position is the position of the lower jaw that treatment aims for.Temporomandibular disordersOrthodonticsDenturesCrownsLearn more→ Wax-upWax-upA design step in which wax is built up on models of the teeth to express what the examinations revealed in the shape of crowns or dentures.Temporomandibular disordersDenturesCrownsLearn more→ CastingCastingA method of converting a shape made in wax into metal using the lost-wax technique. It is used to make denture frameworks and other parts.Temporomandibular disordersDenturesCrownsLearn more→ ZirconiaZirconia crownsCrowns made by optically scanning the wax shape, milling the crown from zirconia with CAD/CAM, sintering it, and finally correcting any deviations.CrownsTemporomandibular disordersLearn more→ Parallel MillingParallel millingA technique for milling the surfaces of denture components and of the crowns on the supporting teeth so that they are parallel to the direction in which the denture is put in and taken out.DenturesCrownsLearn more→ AttachmentsAttachmentsAttachments are devices that connect a denture to the teeth that support it.DenturesCrownsLearn more→ Laser WeldingLaser weldingA method of joining metals by welding a high-purity platinum-gold alloy wire into the base metal in argon gas.DenturesCrownsOrthodonticsLearn more→ Plier Tip ModificationPlier tip modificationPlier tip modification is a process in which the tips of pliers used in orthodontic treatment (instruments that grip thin metal wire) are reshaped and platinum-gold alloy is laser-welded onto the tips to change the way they grip.Temporomandibular disordersOrthodonticsLearn more→ Split Post CoreSplit post coreA split post core is a foundation (core) placed in a tooth after root canal treatment, made in separate parts for roots that point in different directions.Root canal treatmentCrownsLearn more→ Metal overlayMetal overlayA device that turns the lower jaw position and bite information calculated from examinations into a metal form placed over the biting surfaces of the teeth.Temporomandibular disordersOrthodonticsLearn more→ MEAW (Multiloop Edgewise Archwire)MEAWAn orthodontic wire with many small loops bent into it, used to move individual teeth forward and back, side to side, up and down, and in their inclination.OrthodonticsTemporomandibular disordersLearn more→ RetainerRetainerA retainer is an appliance for holding teeth that have been moved by orthodontic treatment in their new positions.OrthodonticsTemporomandibular disordersLearn more→ Provisional restorationProvisional restorations and provisional denturesProvisional restorations and provisional dentures are interim teeth and dentures used, before the final crowns or dentures are placed, to check their form and function.Temporomandibular disordersDenturesCrownsLearn more→ Platinum goldPlatinum-gold alloyPlatinum-gold alloy is a dental alloy made mainly of gold, with platinum and other metals added.DenturesOrthodonticsLearn more→ TitaniumTitaniumTitanium is a light metal that does not rust easily.CrownsRoot canal treatmentOrthodonticsDenturesLearn more→ Stereo Microscope for Dental Laboratory WorkStereo microscope for laboratory workA stereo microscope for laboratory work is a microscope used in our in-house dental laboratory to work on and check provisional restorations, crowns, denture components, orthodontic wires and other items while viewing them magnified and in three dimensions.Temporomandibular disordersOrthodonticsDenturesCrownsLearn more→ Dental Operating MicroscopeDental operating microscopeA dental microscope that magnifies and illuminates the area being treated. It is used in root canal treatment and for checking crowns.CrownsRoot canal treatmentLearn more→
