“…Additionally, SICAT software measures forces of jaw movement and include them in an overall final analysis. 42,43 Due to the publications by Kühnöl et al and Hannsen et al SICAT is the valuable tool in treating cases of TMD that require rehabilitation e.g. occlusal or repositioning splints.…”

“…Digitally designed and fabricated custom-made splint was accurate, adjustment time as well as doctor's time was reduced, and the patient reported immediate relief from TMJ symptoms. 42 In March 2019, MODJAW Tech in Motion (Modjaw, Villeurbanne, France), the latest technology for real-time jaw motion registration was presented. MODJAW's unique software merges all patient data, including 3D models, 4D movements, and CBCT and facial scans to establish the complete digital replica of the patient.…”

Mandibular movement analysis is an integral part of the diagnosis and therapeutic processes in the fields of prosthodontics, orthodontics, or maxillofacial surgery and for many years has remained a subject of studies. For the stomatognathic system to work physiologically, during mastication, swallowing, and speaking, stability and proper dynamics of movement are crucial. The TMJ's intricate anatomy and biomechanics require complete harmony in order to be healthy and functional. A major implication might result from any problem or malfunction that impacts even one of the system's components, eventually triggering the onset of a temporomandibular disorder. Six degrees of freedom (6 DOF) -three translational and three rotational, which correspond to all conceivable motion axes of a rigid body in a three-dimensional space -are used to biomechanically describe the mandibular kinematics. Pure rotation or translation in TMJ function is a rare occurrence. For many years, in the field of traditional prosthodontics workflow, instrumentation in the form of mechanical articulators and face bows has been used. However, due to the articulator's basic design and, in some cases, the inability to

“…The measurement sensor technology consisted of a receiving sensor and a transmitting sensor. The SICAT JMT + system has been previously reported on and consists of a face bow a lower jaw sensor, a SICAT Fusion Bite Tray, a SICAT Fusion Bite adapter, a para-occlusa T-attachment, a SICAT JMT + basic unit, and SICAT JMT+ application software [22,23,27 (Figure 2). The face bow has a nose pad to locate the face bow and a rear headband t secure it to head.…”

An Evaluation of Jaw Tracking Movements in Patients with Total Joint Replacements versus a Control Group

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background and Objectives: One form of treatment for degenerative temporomandibular joint diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatic arthritis, TMJ ankylosis, and condylar resorption is total joint replacement. The aim of this study was to examine the function of the temporomandibular joint after total joint replacement. Materials and methods: Fifteen patients with unilateral or bilateral TMJ total joint replacements and 15 healthy controls were evaluated via a SICAT JMT+ device. This non-invasive system measures 3D position and linear movements in all degrees of freedom and allows undisturbed functional mandibular movements to provide a quantitative evaluation. In addition, a TMJ questionnaire consisting of the subjective symptoms was also obtained. To date, no similar studies have been cited in the literature. Results: Mandibular movements after total joint replacement were recorded during opening, closing, protrusion, and lateral excursive movements and were all significantly decreased compared to those of controls. In the treatment group, the maximum incisal opening was 33.46 ± 5.47 mm, left lateral movement was 1.91 ± 2.7 mm, right lateral movement was 1.74 ± 1.74 mm, and protrusive movement was 2.83 ± 2.05 mm. The p-value comparison study and control group indicated significant difference (p < 0.0001) between the two groups. The study group stated a high level of satisfaction with the total joint replacement. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study, the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) TMJ replacement patients showed significantly limited jaw movements compared to the control group; (2) a small percentage of TMJ replacement patients still present low levels of pain but improved chewing ability and quality of life.
