DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
The Artigator comprises 3 parts for articulating dual
arch impressions and fabricating a precise sectioned
working model in one single process. The Artigator
concentrates on functioning efficiently and straight-
forward, timesaving handling. The centric quick lock
and sideshift function enable the centre position to be
reproduced exactly. Extra powerful magnets in the upper
and lower members retain the pin plates. All components
are manufactured and assembled highly precisely.
The Artigator is robust, will not distort and is guaranteed
to be long lasting.
HANDLING
CENTRIC QUICK LOCK
a) Opening the centric quick lock
Place your thumb on the grooved area and press
the lock upwards. The head of the condyle is then
loose in the condylar path and the upper member
of the Artigator can be moved backwards. The lock
prevents the upper member from falling out.
b) Removing the upper member of the Artigator
Open the centric quick lock, push the upper member
back fully and hold it in this position.
Use your other hand to press the lock down
(close the centric). The upper member of the
Artigator can then be removed backwards.

PROCEDURE
Replace the incisal guidance pin with the incisal pin (2).
Lock the sideshift adjuster and position the impression
correctly on the Artigator where possible, the space
between the tray and Artigator should be the same
all round. The pin plate sleeves are easily positioned
properly (3). lf the space between the pin plate and
Artigator is too narrow, carefully trim any excess
material off the impression with a scalpel. Remove the
pin plates from the Artigator and spray them and the
sleeves with the separating agent supplied. (4) Coat
them thoroughly with separating agent and allow
it to take effect. Then blow the surface dry. Cast the
impression as usual with type 4 high strength dental
stone (5). Fill the first pin plate with a sufficient amount

amount of stone remains on the edge of the pin plate

arch releases easily from the pin plate. Allow the stone
to set and cast the opposite side using the same
procedure. Wait until this stone is also viscous and close

Artigator and release it carefully (10). To facilitate
releasing the model from the model pin, place it (pin
plate upwards) in the sleeve and tap it gently on the
bench top (11 - 14). Trim the dental arch carefully
(except the bottom) and section as required with a saw
(15 - 16). Complete casting the model as shown in
pictures (17 - 19).
