ABSTRACT:
An oral surgery simulating device for planning an oral surgery for a patient including a stand having a base, a device for receiving a cast of a mandible of the patient movably connected to the base, a device for receiving a cast of a maxilla of the patient connected to the stand and positioned atop the cast of the mandible and a pointing unit releasably connected to the stand for aligning the cast of the mandible and the cast of the maxilla with relation to Frankfort's horizontal plane to thereby provide a replica of an upper and lower jaw of the patient. The device for receiving the cast of the maxilla is adjustable in a lateral direction and rotatable. The pointer unit includes a pole, a C-shaped clamp connected to and slideable along a length of the pole and first, second and third pointers extending from the C-shaped clamp for measuring the upper and lower jaw of the patient in relation to Frankfort's horizontal plane. The device for receiving the mandible includes an adjusting device for positioning the cast of the mandible replicating the lower jaw of the patient. The device for receiving the maxilla also includes an adjusting device for positioning the cast of the mandible in a position replicating the upper jaw of the patient. A mandibular ramus facsimile is also pivotally connected to the stand for simulating the ramus of the patient.
