The disclosure relates to a system for recording, transferring and simulating a relative position and/or movement of a mandible relative to a maxilla, comprising: a transmitter coil for transmitting a magnetic measurement field; at least one sensor placed on the mandible and arranged in at least one holding device having a position marking for the sensor; a sensor positioning device provided for setting the axis-orbital plane and condylar points and comprising at least one sensor for capturing and emitting positional data; a data set of a relative movement of a mandible relative to a maxilla, the data set is generated from the sensor signals of the at least one sensor arranged on the mandible and from the positional data from the sensor signals from the sensor positioning device; and a computer for recording, processing and displaying the movement data from the data set from the sensors.

Disclosed is a method for determining the relative arrangement of patient's jaws in a bite position when the patient's occlusion is not defined by natural teeth alone, where the method includes a step of obtaining a digital 3D representation including both surface data relating to dental tissue in one of the patient's jaws and surface data relating to a scan appliance arranged in relation to the jaw, where the scan appliance is configured for at least partly defining the patient's occlusion.

The invention relates to a bonding auxiliary device (100) for arranging, aligning and fixing a plurality of artificial teeth (210) to be bonded into an artificial gingiva (220) of a dental prosthesis (200), the bonding auxiliary device (100) comprising: an occlusion device (110) for arranging and aligning the teeth (210) relative to one another, a support device (120) for supporting a prosthetic body (221) of the first dental prosthesis (200) comprising the gingiva (220), and a clamping element (140) for fixing the teeth (210), which are arranged and aligned by means of the occlusion device (110), in the gingiva (220) supported by the support device (120).

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.

The invention relates to a method for animating models of the mandibular and maxillary arches of a patient in a corrected intermaxillary relationship, comprising: —providing three-dimensional numerical models (MD, MX) of the mandibular and maxillary arches of the patient; —providing a recording of the mandibular motion of the patient, said recording comprising a plurality of relative positions of the mandible of the patient with respect to the maxilla; —selecting, from said positions, a reference position (X) of the mandible with respect to the maxilla of the patient; —determining a target position (Y) for the mandible with respect to the maxilla, said target position defining a corrected intermaxillary relationship for the patient; —determining a rigid transformation between the reference position (X) and the target position (Y); —applying said rigid transformation (i) to the recording of the mandibular motion of the patient in order to animate the three-dimensional numerical models of the mandibular and maxillary arches, or (ii) to the three-dimensional numerical model of the mandible, the delivered recording of the mandibular motion being applied to the three-dimensional numerical models of the mandible and of the maxilla in order to animate said models.

An occlusion control system and a corresponding method for occlusion control, in which dimensional data of a digital upper and lower jaw model are stored on a data processing and control device, an upper jaw representative model and a lower jaw representative model are manually moved relative to one another in an adjustment plane, position changes of the upper jaw representative model and the lower jaw representative model are detected. An associated relative position between the upper and lower jaw models is calculated. If, in this relative position, there is a dental arch penetration and/or a dental arch decoupling from the upper and lower jaw model, a length of at least one of at least three spacer elements between the upper jaw representative model and the lower jaw representative model is adjusted, which brings about a haptically detectable change in the representative model.

A scannable dental spatial orientation device can comprise a coupling feature operable to couple with a bite plate for supporting a physical dental record material. The scannable dental spatial orientation device can also comprise a body portion having first, second, and third planar faces oriented orthogonal to one another. In addition, the scannable dental spatial orientation device can comprise at least one joint configured for rotating the bite plate and the body portion relative to one another to align the first, second, and third planar faces parallel to a sagittal midline reference plane, a horizontal plane, and a frontal plane of a patient. A dental record optical scan system and a method for digitally recording a maxillary arch position are also disclosed.
