  • Patent number: 11576767
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11452585
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for measuring a relative position and/or movement of a mandible (UK) relative to a maxilla of a patient, comprising an emitting coil (8) for emitting an electromagnetic measuring field (5), at least one mandible sensor (US1), said mandible sensor (US1) being placed and/or can be placed on teeth in the mouth (U1-U8) or in the mouth on a mandible device (UK). The mandible sensor (US1) is designed as a sensor at least for determining a position in a measuring field (5) and/or relative to the emitting coil (8), also comprising an evaluation device (3) for determining the relative position and/or relative movement of the mandible (UK) relative to the maxilla (OK) based on positions determined by the sensor (US1). The sensor coil (8) is placed and/or can be placed outside of the mouth on the side or above the maxilla (OK).
