Abstract
A system for analyzing the occlusion condition by inspecting an occlusion condition diagnosing sheet including a pressure-sensitive composite recording sheet structure and having at least one surface coated with a wax. The system comprises a first scanner for reading the image of dental arch pattern recorded on the wax, a second scanner for reading the color densities developed on the pressure-sensitive recording sheet structure, an occlusion pressure detector for converting the color densities into pressures, a graduation display device for converting the occlusion pressurs into the density graduations to display the density graduations, and output device for outputting the dental arch pattern and/or distribution of the density graduations. Further provided is a system for analyzing the occlusion condition by inspecting an occlusion condition diagnosing sheet including a pressure-sensitive composite recording sheet structure. The system comprises a scanner for reading the color density, an occlusion pressure detector for converting the color densities into pressures, a processor for processing the pressures through one or more of plural processings, a mode selector for selecting p…
