[A method for assessing the morphological status of the maxillodental system]

The authors propose a device for measuring plaster models of patients' jaws with normal occlusion in order to evaluate the distance from the coordinate point to the point between the incisors (i), points of contact of the canines (p) and of contact of the first molars of the maxilla and mandible (m). It is possible to assess the position of the upper and lower dentition in the skull space in relation to the universal parameter--the coordinate point common for both dentitions and parameters of the skull.
