• Arcon
(articulator/condyle)
• Facebow
• lateral or protrusive
checkbites
• Fixed intercondyar distance
www.indiandentalacademy.com
15. Mandibular Border MovementMandibular Border Movement
• Outer limits of all excursive mandibular movements are
known as border movements.
(e.g. location of mandible from its most retruded position to its
most forward and most R/L lateral positions)
• Mandibular functional movements are contained within
these border movements.
• Border movements on a patient are limited by ligaments
and are highly repeatable
• Jaw records/registrations of these borders are used to
program the various settings on articulators

What is it and why do we record it?What is it and why do we record it?
it is a recording of the paths/postions of the condyles during border
movements that are recorded in order to program the articulator to
simulate the patient’s condylar movements

17. Jaw/Interocclusal RecordsJaw/Interocclusal Records
(semi-adjustable articulator)(semi-adjustable articulator)
1.1. Facebow RecordFacebow Record
to record the spatial relationship of the maxillary arch to an anatomic reference
point for the transfer of the maxillary cast to an articulator
2. Centric Interocclusal Record
to record the relationship between the maxillary and mandibular arches when the
condyles are in their most anterosuperior position in the glenoid fossae
3. Eccentric Interocclusal Records
a. Protrusive record: to adjust the condylar inclination (e.g. the angle at which the
condyle descends along the articular eminance)
b. Lateral record: to set the Bennett angle (e.g. the medial movement of the
balancing/orbiting condyle as measured from the saggital plane)

Facebow Record: registration of the spatial relationship of the maxillary arch
to an anatomic reference point for the transfer of the maxillary cast to an articulator
www.indiandentalacademy.com
19. Facebow RegistrationFacebow Registration
• This registration relates the maxillary arch to the
horizontal hinge axis of the patient.
• On a fully adjustable articulator, the “true hinge axis”
must be located
• On a semi-adjustable articulator, the “arbitrary hinge
axis” is used, and this is determined by the
manufacturer of the facebow and articulator system.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
20. True Hinge AxisTrue Hinge Axis
• Requires hinge axis locator
• Used with fully adjustable
articulator
• Patients used to be tattooed
so that the facebow could
be repeated

21. Arbitrary Hinge AxisArbitrary Hinge Axis
• Located with the help of
the Denar ruler.
• The arbitrary hinge axis is
based upon the average
location as determined by
the manufacturer

24. ArticulatorArticulator
Class IClass I-- a simple holding instrument capable of accepting a single static
registration; vertical motion is possible (e.g .non-adjustable)
Class IIClass II--an instrument that permits horizontal as well as vertical motion,
but does not orient the motion to the temporomandibular joints
Class IIIClass III--an instrument that simulates condylar pathways by using
averages or mechanical equivalents for all or part of the motion;
allow for orientation of the casts relative to the joints and may be
arcon or nonarcon instruments (e.g. semi-adjustable)
Class IVClass IV--an instrument that will accept three dimensional registrations;
allow for orientation of the casts relative to the joints and
simulation of mandibular movements (e.g. fully adjustable)
