title: [Instant-picture motography in dentistry].
abstract: In technical applications instant-picture motography is used for recording motion traces. The process involves a photographic pulse light procedure based on the Polaroid instant-picture technique. Its applications include, among others, robot motion analysis in developing ergonomic workplaces and, recently, functional diagnosis in dentistry. The advantages lie in the touch-free representation of mandibular movements involving minimal recording weight. Functional disorders can be detected immediately. The results obtained provide a first information basis for the dentist to decide on the proper treatment concept. The experiments on the diagnostic and therapeutic utilization of the recorded border movements have not been concluded yet.
