Abstract: A device for detecting jaw relation data that includes three moveable and interconnected elongated elements: the first extends in a ventral direction and is secured to an upper jaw bearing element; the second extends in a transversal and caudal direction relative to the first; the third extends in the transverse and dorsal direction relative to the second. The second or third elongated element may be configured to be supported on at least one surface of one or more lower jaw tooth crowns or to be arranged at a distance from these crowns in a capturable manner together with the lower jaw tooth crowns by a digital capturing device. A method for detecting jaw relation data may use such a device along with a scanner. Markings on the device may be detected by the scanner to uniquely detect positions of the elongated elements to ascertain jaw relation positions.

Abstract: The invention relates to an upper jaw contact element for contact with a human upper jaw, which contact element is formed as a dental arch-shaped upper jaw bite fork (5) which has receiving portions on at least the open end portions that are configured to reversibly receive upper jaw crowns, in particular with the aid of impression material, in a manner as to be stable during manipulation, and which can be connected to at least one jaw relation element (6, 7, 8, 500) in the area of vertex of the arch.

Abstract: A mandibular protrusion device for therapeutic mandibular protrusion in a patient, including a maxillary splint body on tooth crowns of lateral maxillary teeth and a mandibular splint body placed on tooth crowns of lateral mandibular teeth, both of which completely or partially cover the tooth crowns thereof. An advancement device arranged on the two splint bodies including front engagement elements in the two lateral areas of the mandibular splint body and rear engagement elements in the two lateral areas of the maxillary splint body. Rear-side guide tracks and front-side guide tracks that form protrusion-controlling guide tracks on the front engagement elements are rear engagement elements respectively. The protrusion-controlling guide tracks of are designed based on a protrusion path determined individually for each patient during the protrusion movement into the therapeutic protrusion at the position of the guide tracks of at least one of the pairs of engagement elements.
