Adaption of the facebow to a toothless
jaw G
E N
▷ Select one of the following procedures:
▪ Use a custom tray with tray handle [25].
▪ Proceed as described for the "toothed jaw",
but adapt the fork to the customized tray fur-
nished with 2 - 3 notches (see Centrofix
instructions).
Securing for transport (transfer)
PREFERRED METHOD: Securing the situation
of the upper jaw in plaster for safe transporta-
tion.
This method is also recommended if the
models are to be articulated in the dental
practice. In any case, the position of the
upper jaw should be secured in plaster
directly at the dental practice. The plas-
ter provides for a solid base. Transfer
stand and transfer table are both stable
and cannot be distorted. The plaster
index can be kept for control purposes
and to position the upper jaw at any time
without the patient being present. Few
things can be carried out incorrectly and,
generally speaking, nothing can be
manipulated falsely. Thus, articulating
has considerably been simplifed.
The method shown here with the magnetic Spli-
®
tex Plate Set is also applicable for articulator
systems with screw-mounted model plates
where the transfer table is screwed to the lower
part of the articulator.
▷ Loosen adapter screw [20] and remove the
universal joint from the facebow.

▷ Insert the universal joint with upper registra-
tion into the transfer stand.
▷ Tighten adapter screw [20].
▷ Raise the table [c] to just beneath the bite fork
and tighten the Allen screw [b]. Remove the
joint and bite fork from the transfer stand.
▷ Mix a small amount of articulating plaster
(Artifix 711211) to a creamy consistency and
place it onto the table.
▷ Reinsert the universal joint with the registra-
H
tion, i.e. place the bite fork above the soft plas-
ter mush, and tighten the adapter screw [20]
so that the bite fork rests on the soft plaster.
Once the plaster has set:
▷ Loosen adapter screw [20], toggle nut [23]
and collar screw [22] to separate the joint and
bite fork. [a] = socket for Allen wrench).
▷ Remove the transfer table from the transfer
stand for articulation.

Processing

NOTE:
All components with semi-critical contact to
the patient must be cleaned, disinfected and
sterilised before each use (see Artex facebow
preparation instructions). This also applies in
particular for first use after delivery, as these
components are delivered non-sterile.
The usual surface disinfection procedures can be
used for all other components (without contact
to the patient).
