Mounting Procedure - Denar Slidematic Manuel D'utilisation

IV. Mounting Procedure
A benefit of using the Denar
Facebow is that multiple transfer jigs may be
used with only one measuring bow. In some
cases the mounting of the maxillary cast can be
delegated to the laboratory, involving no loss of
accuracy and no period of time without facebow
transfer capability in the dental office. The labo-
ratory can attach an articulator index to its own
Denar articulator and mount the maxillary cast
®
using only the bitefork assembly from the den-
tal office. Each articulator index positions the
bitefork assembly on any Denar
that the relationship with the condyles recorded
on the patient is accurately reproduced on the
articulator.
Denar Articulator Index
Replace the incisal table on the articulator
with the articulator index (see Figure 11). With
the numbers on clamps #1 and #2 in the upright
position, secure the vertical shaft of the bitefork
assembly in the hole of the articulator index.
Tighten the finger screw on the front edge of the
index (see Figure 12). The incisal pin should set
on top of the slide insert on the articulator index
(see Figure 13).
Hanau Articulator Index
Remove the mounting plate from the lower
member. Using the lower member thumb screw
attach the Hanau index with the transfer assem-
bly hole to the front of the articulator. With the
numbers on clamps #1 and #2 in the upright
position, secure the vertical shaft of the bitefork
assembly in the hole of the Hanau index. Tighten
the finger screw on the front edge of the index
(see Figure 14).
Whip Mix Screw-type Index
Remove the mounting plate from the lower
member. Using the lower member thumb screw
attach the Whip Mix screw-type index with the
transfer assembly hole to the front of the articu-
lator. With the numbers on clamps #1 and #2 in
the upright position, secure the vertical shaft of
the bitefork assembly in the hole of the Whip
Mix screw-type index. Tighten the finger screw
on the front edge of the index (see Figure 15).
