Recording of mandibular movements with CADIAX®
|
||||||||||||
|
Electronic registration of mandibular movement is now a standard procedure in many dental practices. The range of application is diverse: CADIAX® offers individual patient value-settings for semi- and fully-adjustable articulators, thus satisfying all of your needs, from joint-related reconstructions to the diagnostics of dysfunction. |

|
· Bilateral, simultaneous, timed 3D registration of condylar movement · Registration of sagittal and transversal condylar tracks · Automatic conversion of the joint track curves for the articulator · Electronic Condylar-Position-Measurement (CPM) directly on the patient · Individual or standardized registrations according to Prof. Slavicek · Variety of evaluation- and display possibilities, including zoom functions, replay, overlays, 3D-animation and articulator calculations · Registration of hinge axis rotation (only CADIAX® diagnostics) · Hinge Axis calculation and adjustment with real-time display (only CADIAX® diagnostic) · Computer-supported incisal table calculations |

CADIAX® - You CAN believe your eyes! |
||||||||||||
|
|
CADIAX® measures near the joint, on the axis; a distinct advantage in the practice. On the one hand, the proven electronic measurement technology guarantees high precision; on the other hand, the system is easily comprehensible and transparent. With CADIAX®, you can review and control at any time, ideal for your practice. The hinge axis determined by CADIAX® is precisely transferred to the articulator through the face-bow, which is extremely stable. |

CADIAX® - diagnostic data |
||||||||||||
|
Diagnostics relative to therapy and standardized documentation are called for in running a modern, “evidence based” dental practice. GAMMA offers two systems (CADIAX® compact 2 and CADIAX® diagnostic) which, depending on their application, offers solutions for any situation. The compact system was designed for standard cases. Perfectly qualified for articulator programming, with additional options for screening dysfunction. |

|
The “big brother”, CADIAX® diagnostic, measures translational- and rotational mandibular movements at the exact hinge axis, using a double-stylus system. The system fulfils all the needs of the dentist working in functional diagnostics. In addition to the standard movements, the system can also register functional- and parafunctional movements: chewing, speaking, bruxism. Using these as overlays to the limiting movements, you can ascertain any deviations from the average patterns. With the electronic Condylar-Position-Measurement (CPM), the difference between centric joint position and ICP can be measured, directly on the patient. This is not only of diagnostic interest, but also serves in ensuring the quality of dental reconstructions. |

CADIAX® - therapy-relevant data |
||||||||||||
|
|
|
Paying attention to the individual patient’s functional pattern helps in minimizing the risks of therapy. Strategic planning of occlusal parameters, in conjunction with habitual hinge axis movements, provides a solid basis for deciding on therapeutic measures.
|
||||||||||
|
For example, decisions regarding the occlusal plane, inclination of anterior guidance, or eccentric disocclusion concepts based on the posterior joint guidance are easily arrived at and comprehensible |

CADIAX® compact 2 |
||||||||||||
|
|
Recording system consisting of an electronic measuring system and an easily manageable Windows software for quickly registering mandible joint movements. Uses the Reference AB face-bow, fixed to the head and holding the flags, and a mandible bow, adjusted to an arbitrary hinge axis. CADIAX® compact 2 is easy to use and the results are reproducible. The system saves following curves, max. 3 per patient: protrusion, mediotrusion right and left, open/close. In addition, 10 CPM positions may also be recorded. |
|||||||||||
|
The individual patient’s articulator calculations are done at the push of a button. For documentation, the curves are printed out directly on a color printer. Optionally, the data can be saved in the Gamma Dental software. |

CADIAX® diagnostic |
||||||||||||
|
|
The high-end condylography system from GAMMA. CADIAX® diagnostic provides high-resolution registration of all ranges of free mandibular movement. In addition to all of the possibilities of articulator- and incisal table programming, CADIAX® diagnostic especially meets the demands of a functional diagnostic registration system. |
|||||||||||
|
The dynamic hinge axis location makes it easy to locate and reproduce the exact axis. Transfer of the bite registration in the articulator, relative to the axis, is carried out with the same face-bow in one process. CADIAX® diagnostic is a closed system. It is based on many years of scientific and practical experience and was conceived and developed for the everyday practice. CADIAX® diagnostic measures translation and rotation. The high-precision electronics (16 bit ADC) work with an internal measurement resolution of 0.001mm. The system records practically any number of movements, up to a duration of 18 seconds per registration. |
