Functional Aesthetics in Implantology and Reconstructive Dentistry: Analysis and Transfer of Referenced Individual Patient Information With the PlaneSystem ®

This article focuses on the realistic, correctly positioned transfer of the casts and other anatomical parameters into the analogue or virtual articulator. The development of the function-analytical method is presented using the PlaneSystem ®. The detection of patient-specific details using the analogue method (e.g. head posture, facial proportions, physiognomic landmark, cast analysis, cast orientation, movement recording, joint mechanics, lower jaw position in physiological, unmanipulated centric) as well as the digital procedure (e .g. facial scan, three-dimensional analysis, photo documentation) and their transfer into the articulator form the basis. The occlusal plane and asymmetries are measured individually for each patient and transferred into the articulator in the same way as the vertical dimension of the occlusion (VDO ) and the alignment of the lower jaw. All collected information can finally be integrated into a digital workflow so that reference can be made to purely virtual solutions.SummaryIn the following, the necessity out of which the systematics developed as well as the individual development stages are described. Furthermore, the potential is illustrated in that the use of this method offers to the prosthetic working team.
