Establishing an optimal occlusal plane and adjusting the prosthesis in accordance to it are a prerequisite before initiating any prosthodontic rehabilitation procedure. A salient step in this procedure is to transfer the established plane on the record blocks or mounted diagnostic casts with accuracy. Although conventional equipment such as the fox plane analyzer and its variants are commonly used for aligning the occlusal plane in accordance to the ala-tragus plane, it is time-consuming and tedious to transfer the same onto the occlusion rims for dental students and young practitioners. The proposed design usage would be more time-saving as the rim need not be taken out from the patient's mouth for minute corrections of the occlusal plane each time a cant is suspected using conventional fox plane analyzing device, making it a single-step transfer. Therefore, this article proposes an equipment design for a quick transfer of the ala-tragus plane to the wax occlusion rims. Clinical implication: The proposed equipment design may prove beneficial for clinicians as well as dental students to transfer the ala-tragus plane on wax occlusion rims in a single step during jaw relation, hence reducing the chair side time and contributing to the accuracy of procedure.
在开始任何口腔修复程序之前，建立一个最佳的咬合平面并据此调整修复体是一个先决条件。该程序中的一个重要步骤是将建立好的平面准确地转移到记录模型或上架的诊断模型上。尽管传统设备如狐平面分析仪及其变体通常用于根据鼻翼-耳屏平面来调整咬合平面，但对于牙科学生和年轻从业者来说，将其转移到咬合堤上既耗时又繁琐。所提出的设计使用起来会更节省时间，因为每次使用传统狐平面分析设备怀疑有斜度时，无需将堤从患者口中取出进行咬合平面的细微调整，从而实现一步转移。因此，本文提出一种用于将鼻翼-耳屏平面快速转移到蜡质咬合堤上的设备设计。临床意义：所提出的设备设计可能对临床医生以及牙科学生在颌关系确定过程中一步将鼻翼-耳屏平面转移到蜡质咬合堤上有益，从而减少椅旁时间并提高程序的准确性。
