The document introduces the Mini Parallelometer, an instrument that shows the parallelism between dental stumps to ensure they are prepared perfectly parallel for fixed prostheses. It has two parallel pivots on the ends of two legs that can be inserted into the mouth to measure parallelism between teeth regardless of their position. This allows wax patterns to be made that do not distort and for fixed prostheses to fit perfectly on the first attempt. It is made of sterilizable titanium, comes in a small size that can fit in the mouth, and has adjustable legs and pivots to measure parallelism between teeth in both upper and lower arches.

15. The extent of the discrepancy is found out…

16. … prepared stumps. They are perfectly parallel!

18. This is a kit, that is applied to the dental chair. It allows the turbine to behave like a real Parallelometer for laboratory. It is certainly brilliant! Unfortunately it is uncomfortable for the patient, who has to keep still on the head-rest through a proper system of locking. We think it is an high price for him. Not to rinse his mouth and rest during a long preparation time, it is inconceivable!

19. Some years ago the dental market proposed a mirror, on which different parallel lines were carved. The mirror should be inserted into the oral cavity and, externally, the operator winking or closing one eye, should find out the disparallelism between the stumps. But the use of the mirror was limited to the elements on one side in the oral cavity. And mistake of parallax was one of the cause for the lack of correct date.

20. DENTAL MINIPARALLELOMETER Its strenght is in its simplicity ! An excellent relationship PRICE-BENEFIT No discomfort for the patient PATENTED Immediate vision of the axis of insertion With little more than the price of extraction forceps, an inimitable and indispensable instrument for precise fixed prostheses. … indeed, the advantage of being just once under the process for the preparation of the stumps. We are studying the possibility that one of the two parallel pivots may be interchanged with a “marker”. In this way the undercut can be shown .
