Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of oral instruments, and particularly relates to a mandibular movement trajectory tracing jawbone fixing clamp and a use method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of making an oral prosthesis, data of mandibular movement is needed, and in clinical practice, electronic face bows and mandibular movement trajectory tracers are usually used to collect the corresponding data. During the data collection process, the mandibular data sensor needs to be firmly positioned on the mandible, so that the mandibular movement trajectory signal can be transmitted in real time during the mandibular movement.

[0003] The sensor needs to meet the following two points during information collection: 1. firmly fixed on the dentition or alveolar bone; 2. no contact with the maxillary teeth during mandibular movement, and no interference with the mandibular movement.

[0004] At present, a jaw fork made of a finished preformed aluminum composite magnetic metal material is usually used to fix the sensor by being adhered and mechanically embedded on the labial surface of the mandibular dentition through temporary crown adhesive, and the jaw fork is fixed by magnetic contact with the sensor.

[0005] However, this method cannot be used for edentulous patients. At present, for edentulous patients, the jaw fork of an extraoral clamp is usually connected with a wax dam that is made in advance and personalized, and the wax dam is adhered to the mandibular mucosa through mucosal adhesive, so as to achieve the purpose of clamping the mandibular bone. However, the pre-made personalized wax dam needs to increase the number of patient visits and costs, and for patients with low and flat alveolar ridge top, the stability of the wax dam on the mucosa is poor, and it cannot be ensured that there is no relative displacement between the clamp and the mandibular bone during the mandibular movement, and the accuracy of the mandibular movement data collection cannot be ensured.

[0006] For patients with deep overbite, there is not enough space between the upper teeth and the labial surface of the mandibular dentition to allow the fixation of the jaw fork, which greatly restricts the collection of data by the mandibular movement trajectory tracer for patients with deep overbite.
