Dental prosthesis stabilizer

Objective



The development of a tooth-prothesis-stabilizer prevents the disadvantages such as bad fit, difficukties for the patient when speaking and eating food. The stabilizer is based on the use of energy of the movement of the lower jaw. Metal arms are holding thereby the upper and lower part of the complete prothesis together. A small pressure spring keeps the stabilizer in its original position. The stabilizer is attached at the protesis by bushings and screws. Such a development can lead only to success by extensive human-tests with various groups of weares, as well as through steady optimization and adjustement. The aim of these FTE-works is to make it possible for the weares of dentures to speak and eat without restrictions. Through the stabilizer the protesis fulfils the demands of the wearers for functionality, phonetic and esthetic. This work is an important contribution in the applied geriatry. In the European Communities there are concerned 6,6 - 7 million people who can be helped. This is an important contribution to increase the enjoyment of life and the self-confidence of these people.
