Abstract: The kit for measuring vertical dimension for dental impression provides a tool for measuring a difference between a dental patient's desired vertical dimension and the patient's vertical dimension prior to a dental restoration procedure. The kit includes a base, a plurality of measurement sheets, and dental impression wax. The base includes a planar member having first and second longitudinally opposed ends and opposed upper and lower surfaces. The upper surface has at least one longitudinally extending groove defined therein. First and second legs are secured to the first and second longitudinally opposed ends of the planar member and extend downward from the lower surface. Each measurement sheet has opposed upper and lower surfaces and at least one longitudinally extending rib formed on the lower surface and at least one longitudinally extending groove defined in the upper surface. Each of the plurality of measurement sheets has a known thickness.

Abstract: The bite registration block is used for recording the relation between a patient's maxillary and mandibular arches for proper fabrication of a fixed dental prosthesis, or prostheses, such as fixed crowns or the like. The bite registration block is particularly adapted for use when a patient's prepared teeth are opposed by an edentulous arch (i.e., opposed by an area of missing teeth). The bite registration block is formed from a resilient material, such as a suitable type of plastic or the like, and is formed as a block having opposed upper and lower surfaces, a pair of laterally opposed side surfaces, and a pair of longitudinally opposed side surfaces. The upper surface defines a concave, longitudinally extending recess for positioning about an edentulous region of the patient's jaw.

Abstract: The centric relation bite registration tool is a tool for recording the centric relation of a patient's mandible in order to obtain proper occlusion to fabricate a full mouth fixed dental prosthesis. The centric relation bite registration tool includes both a vertically adjustable portion and a horizontally adjustable portion. The vertically adjustable portion is adapted for mounting in a dental implant in the patient's mandibular arch, and the horizontally adjustable portion is adapted for mounting in a dental implant in the patient's maxillary arch. The vertically adjustable portion and the horizontally adjustable portion are releasably secured to one another between the mandibular and maxillary arches providing a single tool which is both horizontally and vertically adjustable for recordation of the proper occlusion between the patient's mandible and maxilla.
