ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for determination of the jaw relation and for instrumental occlusion analysis, which permit a reliable diagnosis and treatment for the occlusion. For this purpose, a maxillary model and mandibular model from a patient are fixed in plaster independently of one another and anatomically correctly and are placed one upon the other in an instantaneous occlusal position. For the instantaneous occlusal position, the positioning of the articular cavities of the maxillary model relative to the hinge axis of the mandibular model is determined, and the maxillary model is then displaced three-dimensionally relative to the mandibular model, with symmetrical alignment of the articular cavities relative to the hinge axis. The resulting jaw relation is fixed for an analysis of the malocclusions.
