I have seen one case set up this way and it looked home made. Curious if this a device or something this dr and other lab came up with
Don't think its a home made thing. A tech I used to know built his business around this technique but its not my field so can't say anymore.I have seen one case set up this way and it looked home made. Curious if this a device or something this dr and other lab came up with
I know gnathology is the study of facial muscle. So I am also trying to figure out how dr incorporates this his dentures. Dr says it helps to line up the max/mand jaw but I thought that's what face bows were for. I wish I would have taken a pic to show you more.
I'm fully versed in Massad's NZ approach.Not quite a pure guess, but without more info I'm thinking that the Japanese were doing something like a facebow + neutral zone methods and were using this as a shorthand translation/term for the procedure. Too little time to search right now to verify my thought before posting like I usually will, but that's where I'd start searching.
Oh yeah, now I remeber that.I'm fully versed in Massad's NZ approach.
If you search in removable forums you'll find a slide dump I did over two threads a couple years back.

I was thinking of something else I read on an abstract though. Like I said, not quite a pure guess. But close.
Very interesting reading of which I will take more time tonight to study it farther. However I'm getting the feeling I'm in over my head because as you say it takes lots of practice and knowledge of this technique. If I'm lucky maybe the dr will spend some time educating me. Thank you for your help KCDT
Ivoclar used to sell an articulator called Gnathomat...not sure what purpose did serve, perhaps @Patrick Coon can chime in ?I have seen one case set up this way and it looked home made. Curious if this a device or something this dr and other lab came up with

Good plan. If docs can't express their wants, how would either of you be graded on your efforts as you attempt to approach achieving it.After reading all your response I'm thinking I'm not going to spend any time focusing on it. The dr has been very pleased with the dentures he's received, so why change something that is working. Thanks again for all your input still very informative. At least I learned something.
