A bite roller is an occlusal instrument that is used to determine the correct closure of the jaw bones and record their position at this moment. It helps the dentist determine how well the teeth fit together and how they are positioned relative to each other.
A bite block is a thin strip of rubber or plastic that is placed between the jaw bones and teeth. The dentist presses the roller against your teeth to make sure it is positioned correctly. He then checks how well the teeth fit together. If the teeth do not meet correctly, the dentist may use a roller to adjust their position.
The information obtained about the correct closure of the jaws and the position of the teeth is used in the process of manufacturing dentures, bridges, crowns and other orthopedic structures. This helps ensure proper fit and functionality of the prosthetic structures, which can be customized to suit the individual needs of the patient.
The Bite Rim or Occlusal Rim is a method that is used to evaluate the correct closure of the jaws in the manufacture of dentures and bridges. This method allows you to determine how correctly the jaws are positioned at the moment of closure, and obtain information about the position of the teeth and gums.
The bite roller consists of two parts: upper and lower. The upper part is placed on the upper jaw, and the lower part is placed on the lower jaw. Each piece consists of a thin layer of material that is placed over the teeth and gums. The two parts are then joined together and secured to the teeth.
After fixing the bite roller on the teeth, the patient should close his mouth and keep it closed for several seconds. At this moment, occlusal spreading of the gums occurs, which makes it possible to assess the correct closure of the jaws. If the jaws are positioned correctly, the bite roller will fit snugly against the teeth and gums. If the jaws are positioned incorrectly, the roller will move or fall between the teeth.
The information obtained about the position of the jaws at the moment of closure is used in the process of making dentures, bridges and crowns in order to ensure the correct fit and fixation of the prosthesis or bridge on the patient’s teeth.
The Roller Bite method is a simple and effective way to assess the correctness of jaw closure, which allows you to reduce the time and cost of making dentures. It can also be used to diagnose and treat diseases of the teeth and gums, such as periodontitis and other diseases that may affect the proper closing of the jaws.
