5.8 Securing for transport (transfer)
PREFERRED METHOD: Securing the situation
of the upper jaw in plaster for safe transporta-
tion.
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 registration
▷
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 (Arti-
fix 711211) to a creamy consistency and place it
onto the table.
▷
Reinsert the universal joint with the registra-
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.
6 Processing
All components with semi-critical contact to the
patient must be cleaned, disinfected and sterilised
before each use; this also applies in particular for
first use after delivery, as these components are
delivered non-sterile (see Artex facebow prepara-
tion instruc- tions). The usual surface disinfection
procedures can be used for all other components
(without contact to the patient).

ponents
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 plaster
provides for a solid base. Transfer stand
and transfer table are both stable and can-
not 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.
