Abstract

A dental diagnostic device is disclosed, wherein the mandibular motion is created as that which results from synthesis of three-dimensional motions of three points to be measured. It is converted into movement of three reference points for reproduction corresponding to the individual points to be measured and the motion resulting from synthesis of the three-dimensional motions at the respective reference points for reproduction is reproduced in or by the use of the mandibular model. Hence no approximate computing processing or the like is needed, there is no room for errors except those in the measuring and reproducing systems and theoretically it is possible to reproduce with a high precision the patient's mandibular motion by the use of a three-dimensional model of the mandible.
