Itaka
The logic of function
Stop relying on static averages. Experience the evolution that digitizes the unique movements of every patient.
What is ITAKA?
ITAKA Way Med is not just a tool; it is a complete methodology that shifts dentistry from a static approach to dynamic, individual function. Born from the realization that traditional analog articulators cannot replicate the complexity of real mandibular movements.
The Concept: A "Sartorial" (tailor-made) paradigm. We create a Digital 4D Avatar of your patient—a three-dimensional model that moves, breathes, and functions exactly like the real person.
Cyclops
Cyclops is an advanced clinical data acquisition system designed to scan and record the free movements of the patient's mandible. Unlike static scans, Cyclops captures the "Video" of the mouth.
- Record mastication cycles (with/without bolus)
- Non-invasive, comfortable forks
- Complete registration in 15 minutes
- Fixes the new digital Vertical Dimension
Arthur
The Robotic Articulator
Arthur is a 6-axis robot that serves as the physical bridge between the digital and analog worlds. It replicates the patient's recorded movements without the mechanical limitations of traditional articulators (hinge axis).
Perfect for checking layered ceramics or removable dentures. It ensures the restoration functions in the real world exactly as it did on the screen.
The ITAKA Workflow
From diagnosis to finalization in three precise steps.
Dynamic Acquisition
Using Cyclops, we record the "cloud of points" of the patient's actual movement in less than 15 minutes. No forced manipulations.
Digital Diagnosis
Analyze data at the desk. Identify the Comfort Position and verify Vertical Dimension using Golden Section principles.
Sartorial Finalization
Create a ReBalance mock-up to test function reversibly. Finalize with Arthur for "zero adjustment" prosthetics.
Diagnosis in the Desk
Shift the stress from the chair to the digital desk.
Functional dentistry is undergoing an epochal transition. Traditional methods force the clinician to work under time pressure, manipulating the patient in the chair.
The ITAKA Method: We move the critical analysis and design phase from the operating chair to the digital desk. This is not just a convenience; it is a breakthrough in precision and objectivity.
The Virtual Patient
Once dynamic data is acquired, study the "Avatar" calmly at your desk. Overlay dynamic traces with CBCT to visualize real condylar movement.
Objective, Not Manipulated
Stop relying on operator-dependent maneuvers (like Dawson). Cyclops records what the patient actually does, minimizing interference.
Why choose ITAKA?
The advantages for the Modern Clinician.
Extreme Precision
Decisions based on objective, dynamic data clouds, not averages or theories.
Zero Adjustments
By respecting the true envelope of function, chairside grinding is drastically reduced.
Predictability
The "ReBalance" allows you to validate the result before touching teeth definitively.
Seamless Synergy
A common digital language that ensures clinical data translates perfectly to the lab.
