Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for creating full dentures struggle with accurately making horizontal adjustments and analyzing the distribution of bite points and the relative positioning of the upper and lower jaws, limiting the precision and efficiency of denture fitting.
Innovation Solution
A fully edentulous jaw 3D facial universal temporal relationship recording device is developed, featuring a swing plate with substrates, universal components with ball sockets, and a horizontal detector, allowing for precise horizontal adjustments and analysis of jaw relationships, enabling quick production of dentures that align with physiological functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If traditional methods are used to create full dentures, then the basic denture structure can be manufactured, but horizontal adjustments and corrections cannot be made accurately inside a patient's mouth
Solution Approach 1:
The device divides the jaw model into separate upper jaw plate and lower jaw plate components that can be independently adjusted. The universal components with ball sockets allow segmented adjustment of horizontal relationships between different jaw regions, enabling precise horizontal corrections that would be difficult to achieve with a monolithic traditional model.
Solution Approach 2:
The device introduces dynamic adjustability through universal components that can be rotated and repositioned. The ball socket joints allow the upper and lower jaw plates to be dynamically adjusted relative to each other in horizontal planes, transforming a static model into a dynamic adjustment system that can accommodate various bite relationships.
2Measurement precision
If traditional biting plane methods are used, then a reference path can be obtained, but the distribution of bite points and relative relation of upper and lower jaws cannot be analyzed accurately
Solution Approach 1:
The device adds horizontal dimensional adjustment capability to the traditional vertical biting plane measurement. By incorporating universal components that allow rotation and repositioning in horizontal planes, the system can capture three-dimensional bite point distributions and spatial relationships between upper and lower jaws, providing comprehensive analysis beyond traditional two-dimensional methods.
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple patient visits are required for accurate denture fitting, then thorough analysis can be performed, but time and efficiency are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The device enables all necessary measurements, adjustments, and bite point analyses to be performed in advance during a single patient visit. The comprehensive adjustment capabilities allow the dentist to capture all required data for denture fabrication before leaving the clinic, eliminating the need for multiple follow-up visits and significantly reducing overall treatment time.

AI summary
A fully edentulous jaw 3D facial universal temporal relationship recording device includes a swing plate, a first substrate, a second substrate, an upper jaw plate, a lower jaw plate, two universal components and a horizontal detector. Each universal component is composed of a ball socket member having a ball socket portion and a ball head member having a spherical portion, and each ball socket member is fixed to the top side of the first and second substrates, and each ball head member is fixed to a bottom side of the swing plate and the upper jaw plate, so that the spherical portion of each ball head member is received and positioned at the ball socket portion of each ball socket member, and the horizontal detector is installed at the assembling portion of the swing plate for making horizontal adjustments and correction accurately.
