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. |

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 |

In conjunction with the
Condylar-Position-Variator (Art. # 06-230700), therapeutic splint positions
can be planned and implemented exactly in all spatial directions. |

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. |
