If a different face bow is used for transfer, make sure that the face bow is set to use the same reference
points. Only then is it guaranteed that the values calculated by the CADIAX system match the model
situation in the articulator.
Model transfer with an exact transfer bow:
Basically, the transfer can be carried out as follows:
The reference points of the GAMMA bow (right and left hinge axis points, plus the anterior reference
point) are marked on the skin of the patient. Then, using the face bow corresponding to the articulator
system, the transfer of the upper jaw is carried out relative to these marks on the patient's skin.
Marking the anterior reference point is only done on one side (patient's left side), at the side of the
bridge of the nose, or under the eye. Measure a distance of 22 mm from the deepest depression of the
nasion and mark this position. Transfer of the hinge axis point is best carried out after the registration,
using the still mounted writing bow, whereby the upper bow is dismantled and the skin is marked with a
pen (axis locator pin) through the bore (stylus holder).
Model transfer with the anatomic transfer bow:
The anatomic transfer bows from various manufacturers partially differ in their measurements as well as
in their used methods in mounting models. The limitations and characteristics of their construction ne-
cessitate using different methods of transferring the reference plane, but also different locations of the
reference plane, relative to the nasion point. If assumed that the statistically accepted hinge axis points
hold the same position or that the difference lies within a tolerably small range, the following table of
mounting and/or conversion recommendations, for using the various anatomic face bows, results:
