Mathematical calculation is a completely new approach which sets new standards in dentistry and dental technology. Clearly defined reference points, unknown to date in dentistry, have now replaced relative reference parameters. Making available for the first time a process for calculating a patient's natural dentition, regardless of his or her current dental situation.
Predictable Restoration
How many times as dental professionals have we sent cases out wondering if they will return having to be reset, adjusted, or even altogether re-done? Couldn’t there be a better way to predict the final result before mistakes are made?
Staub Cranial technology provides the technician the ability to mathematically calculate and analyze the final restoration. This allows for predictable results and peace of mind never before achieved in the dental technology industry!
Cranial Reference Points
While conducting an exclusive twenty five year research Karl Hienz Staub located cranial reference points that when connected formed two isosceles triangles. This provided geometrical figures that allow for mathematical calculation of tooth placement.
Tooth Placement
The discovery that Mr. Staub instigated shows that measurement of the points A, B, C, and C1 form an exact isosceles triangle (with two equal sides). Once this fact was established, mathematical algorithms were developed by studying natural tooth placement relative to these initial points of reference. Mr Staub conducted an exhaustive research of over 5500 models. In every case the natural tooth placement was accurately determined through measurement of these base reference points.

Predictable Restoration
What makes the Staub™ Cranial Dental System so accurate? The answer lies in the fact that the system uses reproducible parameters called Cranial Reference Points. Using these points a dental professional is able to mathematically calculate where the teeth in the restoration need to be placed. This system can be applied to both fixed and removable restorations and will insure a highly accurate and predictable restoration every time.
The cranial reference points have been proven to be anatomically stable and present in every patient. Because these points are stable, their identification can be done with any model produced from a quality impression. In the following article we will describe these points on the maxillary model, and show you how the cranial reference points are used to produce a Model Map. With the Model Map you can see exactly how to place the teeth in the restoration, fixed or removable.
Cranial Reference Points
The cranial reference points on the maxillary model are determined based on an integral approach to the masticatory apparatus. For the first time in dentistry, parameters are defined exactly and can be demonstrated scientifically on every model.
If these points are then placed in relation to each other, they fulfill the mathematical property of symmetry. The specific points are referred to as: Direction Points, Induction Points, and the Conclusion Line
Direction Points
Direction Points are at the point on the ridge connecting line that exactly determines the change in direction in the curve of the pterygoid hamulus. It has a stable topography and is present on both sides.
Induction Points
are at the point of intersection at the anterior and posterior contour of the incisive papilla and the median axis (suture line). The anterior induction point is the only cranial point which is not anatomically stable.
Conclusion Line
is present on both sides of the labial frenum and is anatomically stable. It forms the boundary between mobile and immobile mucosa and determines the change in position in the curve of the mucolabial fold.
Connecting the lines between direction points (A and B) and the induction points (C and C1) results in two isosceles triangles. These parameters are used to calculate the Staub pena area, which is defined as the base of the orthocranial occlusion plane.
