The invention relates to a device useful for taking dimensions of the stomatognathic system, in particular the soft tissues which circumscribe the masticatory system, in particular the anterior part of the face in relation to the denture. This device has graduated parts that allow taking precise measurements and can be transferred or projected to an articulator, which is used in rehabilitation processes and restorative dentistry.

A tooth tapering control guide can be used to create an accurate and consistent taper angle for a target tooth. The guide includes a telescoping member which may be secured to a tooth that is adjacent to the target tooth. The telescoping member includes an upper rod and a lower rod that are telescopically connected. The upper rod of the telescoping member is generally L-shaped, including a vertical portion and a horizontal portion that extends normal to the vertical portion. The horizontal portion includes a rectangular slot along its lower surface and a clasp rod that is slidable within the slot. The vertical portion telescopically receives the lower rod. The clasp rod includes a clasp at a lower end that is attachable to a drill. Once the drill clasp is secured to the drill, the drill bit can be maintained at a constant angle (e.g., 90 degrees) with respect to the target tooth.

The dental measurement device can include a vertical orientation rod to align with a sagittal midline reference plane a patient. The dental measurement device can also include a baseline orientation frame coupleable to the vertical orientation rod to align with one or more of an eye feature and an ear feature of the patient to define a horizontal reference plane of the patient. The dental measurement device can further include a bite plate configured to be held in a mouth of the patient. In addition, the dental measurement device can include a nose extension arm for coupling the bite plate to the vertical rod. A dental prosthetic manufacturing system for use with an articulator is disclosed that can utilize the dental measurement device to create a dental prosthetic. A reference tool for modeling a dental prosthetic is also disclosed.
