Positioning patients - with spherical bite block

Using the spherical bite block to create an implant drilling template
Select the bite block plate holder appropriate for a scan with the spherical
bite block. For exposures of the lower jaw, insert bite block plate holder
(E). For exposures of the upper jaw, insert bite block plate holder (G).
The spherical bite block plate (G) contains radiopaque markers (spheres)
which are used for orientation in the X-ray volume. Further applications
can be set up on this spherical bite block plate.
Aligning the patient to the spherical bite block plate
● Insert spherical bite block plate (G) with patient registration at the
patient.
● Close swivel arm.
● Adapt unit height until sphere and incisors are at the same height.
The spherical bite block plate should be aligned horizontally.
● Carefully lead the patient to the sphere of the bite block plate holder
with his mouth open.
● Have the patient gently bite onto the bite block plate holder.
IMPORTANT
The spherical bite block plate may touch the bite block plate holder only
via the sphere. If it has contact at the front, the patient's position or the
unit height must be corrected.
