Functional Diagnostics in Orthodontic and Prosthetic Treatment Planning
Functional diagnostics in planning orthodontic and prosthetic treatment
Course overview
In this course you will learn to model a digital functional mock-up using individualized settings of a virtual articulator.
Course lessons
Lesson 1. Initial functional diagnostics in treatment planning
Initial functional diagnostics when planning orthodontic or prosthetic treatment. Additional equipment. Analysis of parameters required for planning functional prosthetic or orthodontic treatment and their visualization. Static and dynamic parameters
Spatial position of the mandible and position of the maxilla. Individual mandibular articulation parameters. Options for transferring the maxillary model position to the articulator and the influence of existing techniques on diagnostic results. Overview: facebows and special stands. Functional capabilities. Orientation by soft-tissue landmarks / orientation by bony landmarks
Visualization of the temporomandibular joint region. MRI, CBCT, STL
Rationale for the use of articulators in practice. Mechanical or virtual articulators
Programming articulators (standard and individualized settings). Indications for programming articulators according to individual parameters and their registration
New possibilities when using next-generation equipment for functional diagnostics in orthodontic and prosthetic practice
Rationale for the use of systems for recording mandibular movement trajectories
Orthodontic treatment strategy for patients with disc displacement disorders
Virtual models, algorithms for their positioning in a virtual articulator
Predicted therapeutic position of the mandible and transfer of data into the virtual space
Combined analysis: CBCT + virtual models + trajectories.
Lesson 2. Features of working with digital protocols
Features of working with digital protocols. New possibilities in planning functional treatment
Virtual models, algorithms for their positioning in a virtual articulator. We will examine differences when transferring the maxillary model relative to planes: Camper's, Frankfurt, HIP, Real Head Position. A new method for positioning the maxillary model based on CBCT data
Working with virtual articulators, their programming according to individual parameters. Articulator/models. Models/trajectories
Predicted therapeutic position of the mandible and transfer of data into the virtual space
Combined analysis of axiography + TENS
Combined analysis: CBCT + virtual models + trajectories
Axiography and its use in digital protocols. Digital angular values for articulators or working with trajectories
New cephalometric analysis. Static/dynamic parameters
STL format. Models and skull. Capabilities for dynamic analysis
Cephalometry for planning prosthetic treatment. Only using CBCT data
SPM software module. Analysis of the spatial position of the mandible
Software module "comprehensive diagnostics"
Practical algorithms validated by our research for managing patients with TMJ dysfunctions.
