Registration device for the registration of facial topographic parameters, and related methods

A registration device for the registration of facial topographic parameters, comprising:

• a base member comprising:
• an anterior side, a posterior side, and a transverse section, wherein a central section of the transverse section comprises a rotationally immobile coupling configured to couple the transverse section to a referencing member;
• and
• two occlusal plane indicators extending in a common plane, a respective occlusal plane indicator extending in a posterior direction on each lateral side of the transverse section, each occlusal plane indicator being rotationally immobile connected to the transverse section;
• and
• two mandibular condyle indicator pointers, each mandibular condyle indicator pointer being linked to the base member in a mobile linkage relationship allowing displacement of each mandibular condyle indicator pointer relative to the base member in a respective sagittal plane,
• wherein the respective sagittal planes are perpendicular to the common plane of the occlusal plane indicators, and the mandibular condyle indicator pointers are provided on different lateral sides of the central section of the transverse section, and
• wherein a tragus indicator is pivotably coupled to each mandibular condyle indicator pointer and a pivot axis of each tragus indicator is coincident with an axis of the respective mandibular condyle indicator pointer.
