Vertical dimension of occlusion jigs used in all-on-4 dental procedures

A vertical dimension of occlusion jig used in all-on-4 dental procedures comprising:

• a vertical support column having an upper end, a lower end, and a longitudinal axis that extends between the upper and lower ends;
• a lateral arm support base coupled with said vertical support column, said lateral arm support base being configured to slide along and rotate about the longitudinal axis of said vertical support column;
• a first lateral support arm having a proximal end pivotally coupled with said lateral arm support base, a distal end spaced from the proximal end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal ends thereof;
• a first tooth gantry having a proximal end coupled with said first lateral support arm and a distal end spaced therefrom, wherein the proximal end of said first tooth gantry is adapted to slide along and rotate about the longitudinal axis of said first lateral support arm;
• a second lateral support arm having a proximal end pivotally coupled with said lateral arm support base, a distal end spaced from the proximal end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal ends thereof, wherein said first and second lateral support arms are configured to pivot relative to one another at the proximal ends thereof;
• a second tooth gantry having a proximal end coupled with said second lateral support arm and a distal end spaced therefrom, wherein the proximal end of said second tooth gantry is adapted to slide along and rotate about the longitudinal axis of said second lateral support arm;
• a temporary anchorage device (TAD) gantry coupled with said vertical support column, said vertical support column having an opening, wherein said TAD gantry has a shaft that passes through the opening in said vertical support column and is configured to slide along a longitudinal axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said vertical support column.
