ANTIMICROBIAL-ANTIBIOFILM COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF FOR PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS
Compositions comprising one or more chelating agents and optionally zinc ion salts are used to inhibit the growth or biofilm formation in bacteria associated with personal care products such as ophthalmic, pedicure, manicure or podiatric solutions. The compositions of the present application can also comprise gelling agents, antimicrobials, antibiotic or a pH adjuster. The compositions may be in the form of a solution, a gel, a cream, a jelly, a powder, a paste, a lotion, soap and a cleaner.
FACEBOW AND METHOD OF USING A FACEBOW
Disclosed is a method for determining the geometrical relationship between a patient's dental structure and a reference feature on the head of the patient, the method including obtaining a first digital representation of a facebow including a fiducial marker, an adjustable pin member attached to the facebow and an attachment section of the facebow for placing the facebow in relation to the reference feature, the attachment section having a geometrical relationship with the fiducial marker; obtaining a second digital representation comprising a part of the patient's dental structure, a part of the pin member, and part of the facebow including the fiducial marker; obtaining information about the placement of the attachment section relative to the reference feature; and determining the geometrical relationship between the patient's dental structure and the reference feature based on the first and second digital representations and the placement of the attachment section.

OCCLUSION TRANSFER DEVICE AND FACEBOW-FREE TRANSFER METHOD
A facebow-free transfer method includes: registering virtual upper and lower casts respectively to an upper teeth part of a virtual maxilla model and a lower teeth part of a virtual mandible model so as to form a virtual teeth and jaw model; mounting the virtual teeth and jaw model on a virtual articulator; generating a virtual occlusion transfer module that is mounted on the virtual articulator and that has a part extending to and fitting in an in-between space of virtual upper and lower casts of the virtual teeth and jaw model; and creating an actual occlusion transfer device that is to be mounted on an articulator based on the virtual occlusion transfer module.
Facebow and method of using a facebow
Disclosed is a method for determining the geometrical relationship between a patient's dental structure and a reference feature on the head of the patient, the method including obtaining a first digital representation of a facebow including a fiducial marker, an adjustable pin member attached to the facebow and an attachment section of the facebow for placing the facebow in relation to the reference feature, the attachment section having a geometrical relationship with the fiducial marker; obtaining a second digital representation comprising a part of the patient's dental structure, a part of the pin member, and part of the facebow including the fiducial marker; obtaining information about the placement of the attachment section relative to the reference feature; and determining the geometrical relationship between the patient's dental structure and the reference feature based on the first and second digital representations and the placement of the attachment section.
ZERO MOMENT ADJUSTER
A zero moment adjuster, with which an occlusal curve inherent in a patient can be reproduced within the buccal cavity easily and accurately, includes a base frame, face-bow mounting parts, a face bow, a mouthpiece, a fixing section for fixing the face bow on the face-bow mounting parts at a prescribed mounting angle, which is detachably fitted to the one face-bow mounting part, earpiece mounting parts, earpieces, a pad part, and a reference point indicating part for indicating an occlusion force concentration portion, wherein the mouthpiece is formed in the shape of a curved surface along an occlusion spherical surface whose center is a point on an occlusion line passing through the occlusion force concentration portion and being parallel to side frames, and the prescribed mounting angle is designed to allow the mouthpiece to be positioned on an occlusion curved surface within the buccal cavity.

Method and device for the determination of the centric position of a human set of teeth
The invention concerns methods and a device for the determination of the centric position of a human set of teeth with improved precision. This is needed for the adjustment of an articulator in the production of dentures. For this purpose a plurality of successive bite movements or displacement movements of the lower jaw are recorded in form of electronic signal data and evaluated for the determination of the centric position.
