3.1 Design and functional description
The Universal Transferbow System is a transfer system
developed on a scientific basis. It is a fact that there are
larger and smaller jaws. The Bonwill triangle of various
patients may differ up to 50 mm, depending on the size
of the skull.
Individual, spatial model orientation by means of a
transferbow takes these parameters into account and
helps avoid occlusion errors.
The UTS 3D permits the spatial transfer of a patient's
individual Bonwill triangle according to the joint elements
of the articulator.
With its adjustable nosepiece, the UTS 3D is also suitable
for model orientation according to Camper's plane (CP)
and the Frankfort horizontal (FH). The adjustable ear-
pieces also make the UTS 3D suitable for model transfer
according to specific coordinates.
The Stratos 200 permits working according to these
reference planes (CP and FH). For this purpose, two
different registration joint holders are available (CP and
FH), The registration joint holders are used according to
the reference plane selected. Thanks to the registration
joint holder of the Stratos 200, the transferbow no
longer has to be transported to the dental laboratory.
Only the 3D-registration joint and the bite fork have
to be sent to the lab.
The UTS 3D may also be directly connected to the
articulator by means of the vertically adjustable type 2
support pins. For this purpose, however, the entire
transferbow including the 3D-registration joint have to be
sent to the dental laboratory.
