SYSTEM FOR THE SIMULATION OF MANDIBULAR MOVEMENTS

摘要

The system for the simulation of mandibular movements comprises a robot (1) provided with two fix bases (2, 3) to support a cast of the upper dental arch and of the lower dental arch; a movement assembly (10) of the fix bases (2, 3), comprising six motors, three of which are travel motors (11A, 11B, 11C) and three of which are rotation motors (12A, 12B, 12C) arranged so as to form a gyroscopic structure; an analysis part, to record and analyse the mandibular movement of a patient, provided with a video camera and with markers (4A, 4B) to apply to the dental arches of the patient; and a transfer part to transfer to the robot the mandibular movement recorded by the analysis part.
