Reciprocal positions of negative casts (2, 3) upper and lower dental arches, of a subject (S) recipient of a dental prosthesis (1), by means of an attitude detection device (40).

These positions are then transferred to a manual articulator (50) to be able to positionpositive models (20, 30) of the same upper and lower dental arches with a dentation model form for a dental prosthesis (1).

Using a column template (6), (50) adjustments are detected and brought back to an articulator robot (90), operated by actuators (94).

Chewing movements of the subject (S) are video-taped and digitized, so that a program generator (80) provdes a sequence of commands for driving the robot to move the models (20, 30) to replicate mandibular movements of the subject (S) so as to enable evaluation of correctness of the dentation model form, and possibly modify.

The invention provides a method for creating a physical teeth model. The method comprises the following steps: providing a virtual three dimensional (3D) representation of a patient's dentition that comprises at least a region of the teeth that includes a tooth stump on which a crown is to be fitted or a region on to which a bridge is to be fitted; and preparing a physical model of the jaws of a subject from a blank, based on information from said virtual 3D image.

The Modular system for the realization of orthodontic Gipsoteca models with the faithful tilting of the individual occlusal plane and mobile and fixed prostheses and other orthodontic aids such as bites or splints, comprises a first module consisting of a supporting device (1) and additional aids, such as bases, muffles, little frames, curved and flat plates, a base for the transfer of static relationships between the dental arches, the individual face bow and the injection piston, suitable to make up, in combination with the device (1), additional modules. The present invention allows to facilitate different dental, processing techniques and reduce processing times and possible errors caused by the realization and the squaring of the artifact.

A bionic oral cavity structure for testing and application thereof are provided for solving a technical problem that actual test process of the conventional bionic oral cavity structure needs to be improved. The bionic oral cavity structure for testing includes: an upper jaw, a lower jaw, a drive unit, a sensor and a controller, wherein a gum is made of a soft elastic material, and a base of the gum has a through-hole; a cap is formed by extending upward from a top opening of the through-hole; the tooth comprises a molar made of a hard material, and an implant; a top end of the implant passes through the through-hole of the gum and then extends into the cap; the gum and the implant are detachably mounted on the mounting plate; the sensor is a flexible sensor which covers the cap.

Provided is a reference denture alignment jig which guides reference dentures into an oral cavity or to an articulator in which upper and lower edentulous jaw models are fixed, and aligns the reference dentures in the oral cavity or in the articulator in which upper and lower edentulous jaw models are fixed, the jig having a reference denture holding portion for holding reference dentures.

A mandibular protrusion device which comprises a maxillary dental tray, a mandibular dental tray and at least two lateral links. Each one of the lateral links has a first end removably engageable with the maxillary dental tray and a second end removably engageable with the mandibular dental tray. The maxillary dental tray, mandibular dental tray and the lateral links have complementary male and female members configured to be engageable and disengageable from one another in at least one engagement/disengagement configuration that is not reached when the device is worn or in normal use.
