9.2 Positioning the chin support
I-MAX 3D is equipped with different types of supports:
•
a standard chin rest fitted with a bite or a removable appendix for edentulous patients
•
a tiniest chin rest fitted with a bite or a removable appendix for edentulous patients
•
a dedicated support for 2D TMJ exams (Closed/Open mouth).
The standard chin rest must be used on 2D Panoramic, 3D Full Dentition, 3D Extended Volume,
3D Single Jaw Mandibular and 3D Mandibular Teeth modes, with all patients who can ensure a
tight grip on the centring bite. The appendix for edentulous patients must be applied only for
patients who cannot ensure a tight grip on the bite or are not co-operating and might move during
the exam.
The tiniest chin rest can be used with bite or with appendix for edentulous on 3D Maxillary Teeth
and 3D Single Jaw Maxillary by following the above criteria; it must be used always with appendix
for edentulous on 2D and 3D Sinus and 3D TMJ L/R.
For 2D TMJ exams, a specific positioner is included, allowing the patient to open and close the
mouth without touching any positioner with the chin.
Note
Another chin support, lower in height, can be used in standard panoramic exams to
ensure a better view of the lower section of the chin for patients with a particular
anatomy. This chin support is
marked by a down arrow "▼" on the front of the chin
support itself.
