BioJVA – Joint Vibration Analysis
Intra-patient measurement of TMJ Function
Understanding the health and stability of the Temporomandibular Joints (TMJs) is critical before initiating any dental procedure that may alter mandibular position. BioJVA (Joint Vibration Analysis) provides a fast, non-invasive, and objective method to measure TMJ function, helping you monitor potential TMD (Temporomandibular Disorders) and make informed treatment decisions.
How BioJVA Enhances Your Practice
- Rapid Assessment: Perform a comprehensive TMJ stability and function test in less than five minutes, easily integrated into your existing workflow.
- Objective Data: Move beyond subjective assessments. BioJVA records and measures joint vibrations, providing quantifiable data on TMJ function. This is analogous to how dentists evaluate tooth wear, offering clear insights into joint condition.
- Non-Invasive & Painless: Enhance patient comfort with a TMJ monitoring process that requires no injections or discomfort.
- Early Detection & Informed Treatment: Record TMJ disturbances, even subtle ones, allowing for informed treatment.
- Improved Outcomes: By gathering precise functional data pre-treatment, you can better ensure optimal results for cases involving mandibular repositioning.
The Science Behind Joint Vibration Analysis
BioJVA operates on the simple principle of motion and friction. Healthy TMJs with smooth articular surfaces produce minimal friction and vibration during movement. Conversely, joints with roughened or damaged surfaces generate increased friction and distinct vibrational patterns as they articulate. BioJVA allows you to record and monitor these vibrations.
BioPAK Software Integration
The BioJVA system translates these recorded vibrations into clear, easily digestible data visualized through our intuitive BioPAK software. This allows for straightforward intra-patient comparisons and effective patient communication.
Research Backed Results
Joint Vibration Analysis is supported by extensive research, with thousands of documented cases validating its efficacy in monitoring various TMJ dysfunctions. View our comprehensive JVA Research Bibliography here
