  • Method and apparatus for the non-invasive examination of the tooth-jaw structure of a patient to determine the characteristics of unerupted teeth and to control nutritional intake pursuant thereto
    Patent number: 4564355
    Abstract: Apparatus for the measurement and analysis of tooth-jaw structures comprising a source of illumination, an optodetector and an integral linear displacement transducer. The source of illumination is used to transilluminate tooth-jaw structures while the optodetector receives light which has transilluminated the tooth-jaw structure. The linear displacement transducer provides a fast, accurate and precise size, distance and spatial measurement of structures comprising the tooth-jaw milieu. The system is particularly adapted for the intraoral examination, measurement and analysis of unerupted teeth and their interdental spaces to detect a nutritional status that may exist which would impede the development of tooth-jaw concordance. A reiterative computer controlled process is employed to monitor and control preventive or remedial nutrition.
