Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the construction of a human prosthesis to be used for partially or totally removing a physical dysfunction through determination of the preferred value of a parameter serving the patient's optimum comfort and being characteristic for the removal of the dysfunction by drawing a judgment from the patient regarding the parameter characterizing values, which values, in a number sufficient for statistical analysis, are presented, to him as a series of increments randomly varying with about the perceptive precision, whereafter the preferred value is calculated and the prosthesis is constructed using the calculated preferred value.
- Such a process for edentulous patients is investigated by van Willigen,
- the above-mentioned "forced choice” method comprises offering the patient a random choice of vertical dimensions of occlusion, measured in increments of 0,5 mm ranging from 0,5 to 6 mm by correspondingly adjusting the micrometer.
- the highest and the lowest value of the measuring range corresponded to the experience of respecively "too high” and “too low” as criterion for the desired occlusion for the prosthesis.
- the patient was instructed to comment on each presentation of the vertical occlusion as either "too high” or "too low”. In between two subsequent measurements the time interval was 10 seconds.
- Object of the invention is a method for the construction of human prosthesis as decr ⁇ bed in the above within the scope of which the step of determining the preferred value of a parameter being characteristic for the prosthesis is improved i.e. is more rapid and more accurate.
- Moverover the method according to the invention provides the possibility to i ⁇ eorporate the microprocessor-controlled system based on which the random series of the relevant measuring values is composed, in a device the operation of which being so much simplified that it may even be left to not-university trained persons.
- the device is shown at 1, the indicator means of which is housed in the cabinet 2 At the upper side of the cabinet 2 recessesare provided in an amount equal to the amount of measuring gauges removably held in said recesses i.e. gauges 3.
- gauges may be manufactured out of any material which is not detrimental to the patient's health and which furthermore communicate dimensional stability to the gauges.
- Their crosssectional form is rectangular the width of which is the measure determining the vertical occlusion. Based on their width they are suitably assemblied in groups corresponding to width dimensions of about 0,5-9,5 mm, about 10-19,5 mm and about 20-24,5 mm, always varying with the same increment of about 0,5 mm.
- the number of gauges is thereby chosen so that, taking into account the variation occurring in practice regarding the PVDO value, there always is sufficient distribution across the PVDO-values possible as well as that a sufficient number of
- the press switch "too low" Not shown is the switch for the device to be switched on or off.
- the dental surgeon or dental assistant needs to construct the assembly of lower and upper baseplates for the patient to be examined, each of these baseplates being provided with a platform at the front and being so constructed that after placing the baseplates into the patient's mouth the platforms contact each other when the patient brings them into occlusion.
- both platforms are so constructed that when the patient brings them into occlusion he considers the position of his lower jaw relative to his skull to be "too low”.
- the diagnostician After placing the upper and lower baseplates in the patient's mouth the diagnostician start the microprocessor by pressing the press swith 5. On the display 4 the chosen gauge is strigically shown. The diagnostician selects the gauge of the chosen size and places it between the upper and lower platforms of the baseplates with its width dimension in vertical direction. The patient bites on the gauge and decides whether the position ⁇ f his jaw relative to his skull is experienced to be "too low” or "too high”. The diagnostician then enters the answer into the device by pressing either the swith 6 ("too high") or the switch 7 ("too low”).
- the num erical indication of the gauge on the display 4 is replaced by another one by the microprocessor and the diagnostician repeates the procedure. This, process continues until the microprocessor shows on the display that a sufficient number of observations have been taken whereafter the microprocessor will show on the display the width dimension of the gadge which the patient during testing has not consistently considered as "too low” or "too high". This dimension corresponds to the PVDO and appears on the display with the decimal point flashing.
- both the method and the device according to the invention may be used for every psychophysical measurement for the manufacture of prosthesises or for diagnostic purposes; for example: by substituting lenses of increasing strength, for the gauges the device is made suitable for ophtalmic examination.
- the invention is suitable to be used in the field of audiology or rehabilitation medicine.
