The HIP-Analyzer is a template for the visual analysis of maxillary models. It is particularly easy to use because it is only placed on the reference points of the HIP plane (incisive papilla and retrotubercular folds). This results in a measurement with respect to the masticatory plane or Camper plane, which enables a particularly fast and efficient model analysis in which the measurement reference is parallel to the masticatory plane or Camper plane.
With the help of the scale on the transparent background, the following aspects can be analyzed within seconds:
-
The exact position of the hamuli (more precisely the retrotubercular folds) in the best possible symmetry to the palatal suture of the upper jaw.
-
The osseous symmetry of the maxilla to the palatal suture.
-
The symmetry of the upper dental arch to the palatal suture.
-
Deviations of the occlusal plane between the right and left upper tooth segment from the horizontal.
-
The best possible symmetry for model orientation in the articulator.
The HIP-Analyzer can also be inserted into the recess of the mounting table of the HIP-Mount in 90 degree steps. This allows the following additional statements for an assembled upper jaw model in the articulator:
-
Analysis of the sagittal course of the right and left occlusal planes, whereby necessary extensions or shortenings of individual teeth can be quantified in prosthetic or orthodontic treatment planning using the millimetre scale.
-
Analysis of the relative length of the anterior segment to the posterior teeth.
-
Evaluation of the occlusal plane from the frontal plane.
-
Due to the double scale pressure, parallax errors can easily be minimized during measurement.
