System and method for measuring and recording skull vibration in situ

摘要

A method and apparatus for recording and measuring in-situ skull vibration includes a receiving means, a transducer mounted into or unto the receiving means and capable of transducing mechanical vibration within the dental bone conduction pathway into electrical signals, and extra-oral recordation hardware and software capable of receiving and processing the electrical signals from the transducer.

主权项

1. An apparatus for measuring and recording skull vibration in-situ comprising:
a receiving means capable of simultaneously engaging an undercut area in a gingival one-third of at least one maxillary tooth and an interproximal area between two adjacent maxillary teeth on both a buccal surface and a lingual surface within a mouth of a user; a transducer coupled to said receiving means, said transducer capable of transducing mechanical vibration within a dental bone conduction pathway into electrical signals; and recordation hardware and software capable of receiving and processing said electrical signals from said transducer.
