Simplified apparatus for fronto - sagittal and two-dimensional echography exclusively for the temporomandibular joints (atm)

摘要

An apparatus for fronto - the sagittal and the two-dimensional echography only for the investigation of the two temporomandibular joints (atm) to the right and left, characterized in that it consists of 5 elements:a) of a double extra buccal ultrasonic probe (to the right and left) (3, No. 1), the high-frequency molecular shock waves (with a low wavelength) emits in a sagittal plane, the only for the region of the temporomandibular joints (atm) are preset in a sagittal plane,b) a flexible extra buccal semicircular telescope support (3, No. 2), on which the two probes are fastened. This fits around the head of the patient, since it is flexible. The two probes are made on the support is articulated at their connection point and is intended, more or less than 2 cm from the two outer ear to, they remain in contact with the skin.c) of a double right and left intrabuccal ultrasonic probe in contact on the mucous membrane of the retromolären region of the upper jaw (3, Nr...
