When using the product, always observe the fol-
lowing safety instructions:
3 Suitable Personnel
4 Machine Specifications
4.1 Intended use
Supporting aid for determining the skull-axis-ori-
ented position of the patient's upper jaw. This
information is used for the subsequent skull -axis-
oriented mounting of the upper-jaw model in the
articulator.
4.2 Product Description
he Artex facebow is a parallel-opening bow made
of anodised aluminium. The parallel opening of the
facebow is used to insert the facebow via the
porus buttons into the patient's ear canal. This
serves the supporting and holding via the
patient's skull.
Frontally, the facebow is supported on the skull
via an adjustable rod in the nasian bar with a
nasian adapter. The facebow is thus fixed to the
patient's skull by a three-point support (2 porus
buttons and a nasion adapter). A bite fork is
applied to the upper jaw tooth row registering
mass. Bite fork and facebow are connected via a
3D joint (joint support). The 3D joint is fixated. The
spatial position relationship obtained by bite fork
to facebow is used for mounting the patient's
upper jaw model in the articulator in the correct
position for the patient.
