Preparing the facebow

inwards). The screw collar is in the key hole.
▷ Tighten the nasion on the facebow with fixing
screw [14].
▷ Retract the nasion fully and tighten it with set
screw [15].
▷ Insert the universal joint into the front of the
conical support mounting slot [2]. Press it in
fully and tighten it with adapter screw [20].

This plastic bite fork is covered with a thermoplas-
tic material. Before using:
▷ Warm-up Artex Quickbite in a water bath until
the bite compound is plastically mouldable
(maximum 45°C).
It is used in the same way as a conventional meta-
like fork but does not require cleaning or disinfec-
tion.
The shelf life of the Quickbite is 3 years.
5.3
▷ ttach thermoplastic pellets ("Bite Tabs" (Art. No.
A
642150)) on self-adhesive foil to the bite fork at
three locations and place bite fork for about
1 minute in approx. 40 °C warm water.
▷ The applica- tion of compound on the opposite
side of the bite fork ensures that the compound
does not get loose.
The cranked handle of the bite fork points down-
wards.
▷ When using the facebow on the patient,
the screws must only be loosened 1/4
turn. Instead of opening the screws com-
pletely, it is sufficient to loosen them
only slightly. This ensures that they grip
and fix the com- ponents into place
immediately when tightened.
