  • Dental device for recording the position of the jaws of a patient in relation to one another by means of recording plates
    Patent number: 7300280
    Abstract: The invention comprises a pair of one-piece, flat recording plates that are mirror symmetric about a sagittal plane S, or which an upper part (200), which is provided with a stylus (202), can be affixed to the upper jaw of the patient, and a lower part (100), which is provided with a writing surface (101), can be affixed to the lower jaw of the patient. A recording plate comprises a planar base area (110; 210), planar transition areas (113, 114; 213, 214), which border thereon, and supporting surfaces (111, 112; 211, 212), which border on the latter and which have continuous retention openings (119; 219). The base area is approximately shaped in the form of a forward tapering isosceles trapezoid, which is mirror symmetric about the sagittal plane S, whereas each transition area is approximately shaped in the form of an elongated parallelogram, which is angled away both from the base area as well as from the supporting surface.
