Development of the object evaluation method of occlusion

在诊断口颌功能时，需要对牙合进行客观评价。尽管牙合可视化技术是一种有效的评估方法，但在日常牙科诊疗中使用起来比较麻烦。本研究的目的在于提高牙合可视化技术的方便性，发展牙合功能的客观诊断方法。开发了统一咬合接触和颌部运动记录的坐标系标准化程序。这个程序可以简化技术程序来可视化牙齿咬合。用硅胶黑法对咬合接触进行定量分析。分析结果揭示了颌部运动记录与咬合接触模式之间的密切关系。

For diagnosis of stomatognathic function, the objective evaluation of dental occlusion is required. Even the visualization technologies of dental occlusion is effective method for such evaluation, it is rather troublesome for using in daily dental clinic. The purpose of this research is to improve the handiness of the occlusion visualization technologies and develop the objective diagnosis method for stomatognathic function.Standardizing program of coordinate system that unites occlusal contacts and jaw movement records was developed. This program enables to simplify technical procedures to visualize dental occlusion. Quantitative analysis of occlusal contacts with silicone black method was also performed. The result of this analysis reveled the close relationship between jaw movement record and occlusal contact patterns.
