Mandibulometer

Mandibulometers are devices used to measure the size of the lower jaw. They are special devices that allow you to determine the width, length and height of the patient’s lower jaw.

Mandibulometry is an important tool for dentists and orthodontists who treat teeth and jaws. It helps determine how well the lower jaw is developed and how it can be improved. This can be helpful in planning treatment, selecting prostheses, and determining the need for surgery.

To carry out mandibulometry, special sensors are used that measure the distance between two points on the lower jaw. The data is then transferred to a computer where it is analyzed and displayed on the screen.

Benefits of mandibulometry include:

- Accuracy. Mandibulometric measurements are accurate and reliable, allowing dentists and orthodontists to make informed treatment decisions.
– Cost-effective. Mandibulometric equipment is generally affordable and can be used for a wide range of patients.
– Convenience. Mandibulometry is usually performed quickly and painlessly, which makes it attractive to patients.

Overall, mandibulometry is an important tool for dentists and orthodontists. It allows you to determine the size and shape of the lower jaw, which can be useful in planning treatment and choosing dentures.

Perhaps the simplest technically and the most reliable from a medical point of view is the Osipov mandibulomer. It is used to obtain individual impressions of the jaws (upper and lower). Research has shown that proper prosthetics depends not only on dental treatment, but also on the preliminary production of orthopedic structures using the principles of functional treatment. Based on the results of the research, we came to the conclusion that it is the functional analysis of the movement created during the treatment process that makes it possible to most accurately and correctly manufacture structures that provide the necessary physiological load on the dentition, and therefore, prevent the redistribution of pathological tooth abrasion and obtain optimal conditions for the development of the dentofacial system . The disadvantage of this method is that the research is carried out with the help of a dentist and, therefore, is limited to a certain time range of work, as well as a high degree of subjectivity of the assessment. In addition, aesthetic assessment should be carried out immediately after treatment.
