  • Craniostat for acquiring extraoral dental radiographies
    Patent number: 9504434
    Abstract: A craniostat for an extraoral dental radiographic apparatus includes an upper portion connected to a lower portion by rods. The upper portion includes a crossbeam and rests for a patient's temples, the rests being formed by two arches articulated with the crossbeam. The arches lean on the patient's temples, and are blocked by a control system, which, in one embodiment, is configured as oscillating levers. The blocking action is caused by shape friction generated at the time of activation via the control levers. A method of use of a craniostat is also described.
