What is the purpose of a facebow?
record spatial relationship of maxillary arch to some anatomic reference point(s)
How do we determine the 3rd point of reference?
43mm from maxillary incisor incisal edge
The 3rd point of reference should be:
repeatable and reproducible
Label A-E:
A: Upper member
B: Lower member
C: Anterior/incisal pin

E: Condylar mechanism
What type of articulator is an Arcon?
Semi-adjustable
Describe an Arcon semi-adjustable articulator:
condyles in lower member and condylar inclination in upper member
The purpose of an articulator is:
a mechanical device that simulates mandibular movements of condyles in their fossa

0 degrees; 2-step mounting techique
Tooth-dependent position which is independent of condylar position:
maximum intercuspation (MI)
Describe MI:
maximum intercuspation: tooth dependent position, independent of condylar position
TMJ dependent position which is independent of tooth position:
Centric relation
Describe CR:
Condyles in most anterior-superior position, independent of tooth position
Important for deprogramming muscle of mastication to achieve and successfully record CR:
Anterior deprogrammer
Anterior deprogrammer is important for ____ to achieve and successfully record ___.
