Incisor Angulation Jig
This instrument can measure the anglulation of upper and lower incisors without the need to take X-Rays! In fact, it eliminates the need to take two X-Rays. This device was jointly developed along with a Dental Practitioner.

Background

We designed, engineered and developed this jig for Dr. Nitin V Muralidhar, of JSS Dental College whose idea was to reduce an X-Ray needed in facial area, for measuring teeth angle and also make measurement faster.

The jig has precision angle gauages and an arm that controls the needle, which can be used to measure the Dental incisor angle by just toucing the front part of the angle measuring jig to the teeth. Avoiding X-Ray is always beneficial.
The Jig has been tested and found to have a +/- 1 degree accuracy on patients tested and compared with actual X-Ray method.
