Forming apparatus of ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint in animal experiments

摘要

The proposed invention relates to medicine, in particular to stomatology and can be used to produce models ankylosis of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) in experiments on animals. An apparatus for forming ankylosis temporomandibular joints comprises Solid crowns at opposite canines, to the tops of the crowns are rigidly fixed on the rod with the left and right screw-threaded connecting rods and hollow with internal screw thread for fixing the position of the jaws. The device will still restrict the movement of the mandible in three mutually perpendicular planes (vertical, sagittal and transversal), in the experimental conditions in animals to obtain TMJ ankylosis, easily removed, allowing for radiographic and manually control mandibular movements during and after the experiment. The device is easy to manufacture by molding, does not cause inconvenience to the animal does not injure the surrounding tissues. Using the device allows you to produce a morphological study and work out the method of orthopedic treatment of ankylosis of TMJ patients.
