Abstract
A process for manufacturing customized facemarks, especially for the treatment of ClassIII malocclusions comprising the following steps: producing respective impressions of patient's forehead and chin, to record the anatomic structure thereof, using impression materials commonly utilized in dentistry for intramural impressions; producing respective 3D digital images of a patient's forehead and chin through a 3d-scanning of said forehead and chin impressions; 3D printing of customized forehead and chin pads; detecting patient's side profile line from a side picture of patient's face; 3D printing of a midline rod modeled according to said profile line; and assembling said forehead and chin pads and said midline rod into a facemark featuring a facial frame providing retention to elastic bands meant to be connected to an intramural appliance, wherein, in the forehead pad a temperature sensor is inserted while a pressure sensor is embedded into the chin pad, said sensors being linked to an application for tablets and smartphones including a videogame designed to enhance patient's compliance with wearing the facemask.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
