Laboratory clinometer

5.2.1 Model transfer in the Artex articulator
Articulate the maxillary model using facebow reg-
istration. The cranium-axis-oriented model articu-
lation is mandatory. This can be done by direct
adaptation of the facebow on the articulator or by
indirect transfer via transfer stand or transfer
table.
5.2.2 Mounting the laboratory clinometer on
the Artex articulator
▷ Set the angle value indicated by the dentist on
the laboratory clinometer, e.g. 1° A:
▪ Turn the large rotation knob in the desired
direction (here in direction A) and align the
zero line with the first line.
▪ Secure the adjustment with the small counter
screw against unintentional twisting.
▷ On the Artex articulator, replace the standard
anterior incisal pin against the cranked pin.
The cranked pin later allows a clear view of the
front section of the model.

▷ Loosen the support pin of the upper articulator
part.
▷ At the rear slot, slide the laboratory clinometer
in to the stop against the support-pin thread.
The support pin serves as hinge for the labora-
tory clinometer.
▷ Unscrew the fixing screw of the anterior incisal
pin holder so far that the clinometer can be piv-
oted to the stop at the thread under the fixing
screw.
▷ Pivot the clinometer in to the stop.

▷ Tighten the support-pin and fixing screw in
order to secure the clinometer.

To pivot out (swivel out sidewards) the cli-
nometer, loosen the support-pin and fixing
screw minimally.
