摘要

"Device for adjusting, measuring and recording occlusion ratios in mandibular protrusion and application to the manufacture of an oral appliance for immobilization in protrusion of the mandibular arch, corresponding device" The invention relates to a device for adjusting the ratios mandibular protrusion occlusion (20) with means for adjusting the protruding positioning of the mandible relative to the maxilla. According to the invention, the adjustment device comprises a shell (21) elongated in an arc of section approximately in the shape of an inverted U with an internal face and an external face, said shell (21) having a front portion towards the front and two right and left lateral portions towards the rear, said shell (21) being adapted to be placed by its internal face overlapping on a mandibular dental arch for taking an impression of said mandibular dental arch, an upper part of the external face coming in sight of the occlusal surfaces of teeth of the maxillary dental arch, as well as at least one support device (22) adjustable for protrusion adjustment, said at least one support device (22) comprising a support piece ( 29) integral with the anterior portion of the shell (21) and intended to come to bear against the teeth of a mandibular dental arch, the bearing part (29) being able to be advanced or retracted relative to the shell for adjustment of protrusion. The adjustment device may also allow measurements and / or recordings. Figure 8
