Setting of lower jaw position:
For setting the lower jaw position there are two
methods possible.
Method A: X/Y/Z
First, set the inclination of the condylar housings
to zero.
Determine the wanted therapeutic lower jaw po-
sition of the hinge axis with the articulator coor-
dinate system in mm for the left and the right
axis. (X/Z values for right and left, and Y for
transversal shift)
Set the X-value (protrusion/retrusion) with ad-
justment screw
A
at the back side of the hous-
ing. The setting can be read on the Vernier
scale at the top of the housing. A positive value
indicates a setting in protrusive direction (LJ for-
ward direction), a negative value stands for a
backward positioning (retrusion).
Setting of Z-value (distraction/compression) is
made with screw
B
at the top of the housing.
The setting can be read on the Vernier scale at
the back of the housing. A positive value of the
Z-axis means distraction (LJ downwards), a
negative value stands for a cranial positioning
(compression).
