Gerber Method
The Gerber® Method is the way of diagnostic and repairing proceedings based on three GERBER’S NORMS (I. static-anatomic norm, II. Dynamic-anatomic norm, III. Neuromuscular norm) and definition of the GERBER’S CENTRIC RELATION.
Therefore, it is not a philosophy or a concept, but a precisely developed, thought-out and proven method consisted on detailed diagnostics based on the anatomy and physiology of the masticatory organ.
The Gerber® Method together with the Gerber® Instrumentarium builds up the GERBER MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM.
The uniqueness of the GERBER MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM. is that it allows you to diagnose pathologies and restore the proper function of the stomatognathic system. It does not limit the diagnosis with regard to age, missing teeth, type of restorations or type of specialization. It gives you independence at work, freedom from licensing or buying new modules.
The GERBER MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM., according to the Gerber Condyle Theory, leads to biofunctional reconstructions. Biofunctional, means ensuring the stability of the mandible position and the stability of the mandible functions, respecting correlation between the structure of TMJs and occlusion.
In line with Prof. Gerber’s term BIOFUNKCION should be understood as Boundless Integration of the Occlusion and Function (in its original version: BIOfunktional = Bedingungslose Integration von Okklusion und Funktion).

Full three-dimensional capacity to control the Bennett movement and the Immediate Site Shift (ISS)
Locks fully down – only hinge mandibular movements are possible. In this position the mounting of the models is carried out as well as the control of occlusion in centric.
Locks fully up – in this position protrusive and back to centric, Bennett, balancing and all intermediary movements can be carried out as in the natural TMJ.
Locks fully forward – with the locks in this position a full envelope of natural mandibular movements is possible including the control of the retrusive movement.
Each Condylator® has its own individual serial number, which is imprinted onto working models.
