This study introduces a new impression procedure that permits mounting the maxillary stone cast in an articulator for any patient treatment and is applicable to any dental arch with any impression material. A transfer tray was designed that makes it possible to transfer the patient's maxillary impression to the articulator in a one-stage procedure without the need for making record bases and occlusion rims or the need to use a face-bow bite fork.
A bimaxillary osteotomy for mandibular prognathism and maxillary retrognathia was performed on 30 patients with an Angle Class III malocclusion. The Luhr condylar positioning device was used intraoperatively to reproduce the condylar position. Pre- and postoperative condylar positions were compared by recording joint movements with axiography. Steps, jags and jumps as symptoms of pathological joint function could not be identified. Only in one case could a pathological shortening of the joint track length be measured. This suggests that the Luhr device is effective in securing condyle position and therefore temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function. Pre- and postoperative axiography is an adequate method of controlling these results and a helpful supplement to the armentarium of orthognathic surgery.
