Whip Mix Quick Mount Index
Remove the mounting plate from the lower
member. Place the Whip Mix Quick Mount
index over the magnetic mounting base with the
transfer assembly hole to the front of the articula-
tor. 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
Quick Mount index. Tighten the finger screw on
the front edge of the index (see Figure 16).
Mounting The Maxillary Cast
Attach a mounting plate to the upper member.
Be sure that the incisal pin is at the zero position
and that the upper member is level and parallel
to the table top.
Place the maxillary cast in the bite registration
index on the bitefork and close the articulator to
check for adequate clearance between the base
of the cast and the mounting plate. Mount the
cast with stone to the mounting plate (see Figure
17). Although it is not necessary, some clinicians
prefer to use a maxillary cast support to prevent
torque during the mounting procedure. Once the
stone has set, remove the transfer jig and replace
the incisal table in the articulator.
Mounting The Mandibular Cast
Attach a mounting plate to the lower member.
A centric relation checkbite record is used to
mount the mandibular cast. With the maxillary
cast attached to the articulator and the centric
latch engaged, invert the articulator and place
the centric relation checkbite record between the
maxillary and mandibular casts (see Figure 18).
Stabilize the position of the casts with either a
rubber band or sticky wax. Adjust the incisal pin
to accommodate the increased vertical distance
caused by the thickness of the centric relation
bite record. Double check to be certain that the
condyles are seated against the rear and tops of
the fossae, and using stone, proceed to mount
the madibular cast to the mounting plate on the
articulator (see Figure 19).
