Zero in on the temporomandibular joints to detect TMD causes and identify best treatment options. The TMJ visualization tool serves as a virtual study model to streamline and expedite treatment success.

Reveal Restricted Airways

3D data enhances airway assessment to reveal restricted airways and determine appropriate treatments with precise anatomical views and measurements. Color-coded constriction values highlight airway volume for convenient reference at a glance.

Expose Sinus Abnormalities

Quickly trace airways onscreen to perform automatic calculations and measurements of paranasal sinuses to evaluate treatment options.

Capture All Initial Records in a Single Scan

Capture precisely accurate 3D views to analyze teeth, roots, TMJ, airway, and sinuses without magnification or distortion. Enhance practice efficiency by capturing a complete workup in less than 10 seconds.

Joint Vibration Analysis (JVA)

What is Joint Vibration Analysis?

When two smooth, well lubricated surfaces rub together, friction is minimal and very little vibration is created. If the surfaces are rough and/or poorly lubricated, friction is greater and the is vibration (more roughness + poor lubrication = more vibrations).

Human joints, such as the Temporomandibular Joint, have naturally very smooth and well lubricated articulating surfaces. Under normal conditions, little vibration is produced during function. But surface changes, such as those caused by degeneration, cartilage tears, perforations, and mechanical displacements, increase friction and result in vibrations.

Joint Vibrational Analysis records the vibrations made by joint tissues during movement. JVA technology, based on that used in US Navy submarines, records vibrations, not sounds. All sounds are vibrations, but not all vibrations are sounds. The JVA is much more accurate than palpation, a stethoscope or even the patient self-reports, when it comes to recording vibration in the joints. The patterns and the electronic signature of your joints are compared to known standards for healthy joints. This technology also provides important objective (factual) documentation so vitally important in personal injury lawsuits and for filing insurance claims.

How Does It Work?

Joint Vibrational Analysis (ADA approved) is equipment that measures how well the joint functions while in motion. All other images such as MRI, X-rays or even MRI’s are only static pictures of the joints in certain positions.

This is accomplished by placing headphones over the joints and recording the vibrations of either soft tissue (quiet, when disc is working properly) or bone on bone grinding (crepitus, gravel sounding). Today most experts feel that this device is mandatory when determining what position the mandible should be placed in therapy. It is imperative to find this “best” position possible for the patient before treatment begins. Short of an MRI, this is the ideal objective proof of what is happening to the joint as it functions, and dramatically less expensive and timely compared to an MRI.

Evaluating occlusal forces is as simple as having a patient bite down on our ultra-thin sensor while the computer analyzes and displays the data as shown below right.The T-Scan can measure force over time, it is an indispensable tool for appraising the sequential of a mandibular excursion. You can view, on screen, apatient sliding from MIP or CR position into a lateral excursion. This is instrumental in locating bite interferences, determining the relative force on each interference, and evaluating the potential for trauma caused by the occlusal interferences.

Imagine how useful this is on a long span fixed prosthesis built upon implants, or any dental case where occlusion plays a role!

Cold Laser

Cold Laser is a therapeutic laser by classification, but is also often referred to as a biostimulatory laser. This seems to be the more appropriate name, since it illustrates the laser’s mechanism of action more precisely.

The Cold Laser “stimulates” cells on several levels by virtue of transferring photon energy into the individual cells. This photon energy is then utilized to produce more of the cells own fuel molecules (ATP). With more energy available, the cell will initiate a faster cell division cycle, as well as a more rapid cell differentiation cascade. The actions which happen on a molecular level translate into faster healing and tissue remodeling on a clinical level.

This laser can be utilized in many different applications across multiple disciplines in dentistry: Orthodontics, Implant Dentistry, Oral Surgery, Periodontics, Endodontics and of course General Dentistry.

Interferential Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy stimulates injured muscles and joints to activate the body’s natural processes for relieving pain, building strength and promoting healing. With a proven record of helping patients to recover quickly from injury, clinical ultrasound is a staple in physical rehabilitation and a fixture of the physical therapy office.
