Revolutionary New Electronic Jaw Measuring Device Developed: The complicated motions of the human jaw, long obscure to dental researchers, can now be analysed with ease and accuracy by this small, lightweight device. The jaw motion measurement device is constructed of aluminum. it measures the six angles of jaw movement in inches and degrees of rotation with high accuracy, and provides electrical signals that can be coupled directly to a computer. Developed by George S. Schmidt, a mechanical engineer at the General Electric Centre in New York, the device will be used initially for the study of the backward motion of the jaw during swallowing. he device is considered an important advance in the field of dentistry
