Pressure Moulding Technique nach Prof. Sato BRUX CHECKER® For analysis of bruxis and CMD as well for as grinding of prosthetic restorations.

Pressure Moulding Technique BRUX CHECKER® is a foil of 0.1 mm initial thickness with a colored coating on one side used for diagnosis, analysis and treatment planning. It has been developed by Prof. Sadao Sato at the Kanagawa Dental University in Japan and proven successful in clinical use since 2000. The BRUX CHECKER® foil registers occlusal interferences like bruxism through abrasion on the foil surface. The foil is moulded over a hard plaster model and worn for at least one night by the patient. The evaluation of this parafonctional grinding pattern allows the clinician to draw conclusions...

The long-term ECG of occlusion Bruxism has an important function in the masticatory system, contributing to stress management and maintaining the homoeostasis of the human body. On the other hand, bruxism can affect the stomatognathic system and cause failure of a reconstruction (“chipping”). The contact areas that can be detected in a clinical examination differ from the contacts occurring in bruxism. The occlusal pattern in bruxism can’t be reproduced. Therefore studies, diagnoses and treatment methods on the basis of occlusal patterns while bruxing the teeth during sleep should gain acceptance....

Using BRUX CHECKER®, the actively used surfaces are made visible for the first time, so that orthodontic and para functions can be differentiated, explained and therefore correctly treated.
