DEVICE FOR DETERMINING THE STRENGTH OF ANATOMIC FORMATIONS OF THE LOWER JAW

摘要

The utility model relates to the field of medicine, namely to morphology, traumatology and orthopedics and maxillofacial surgery, and can be used to simulate fractures of the lower jaw by measuring the applied force on various anatomical formations of the lower jaw. The utility model is based on the task of creating a device for assessing the strength of the lower jaw in its various anatomical structures. The result of the utility model is achieved by the fact that the device contains a frame on which a mechanism is movably located, creating pressure using a worm gear with a force sensor, and a fixing bar that moves along the frame and is adjustable in height. The lower jaw is fixed on the fixation bar using two clamps. To simulate a fracture, pressure is created on various points of the lower jaw and, using a digital display, the force required to obtain a fracture is estimated. 1 ill.
