pravided with a tail ZWhic-h, when the impressiontray is .insertedinsthr'e mouth, projects straight out; thereof flhe tray :iszdisconnectably articulated to the-jtray-holder of the? facebow'i unit comprising a yoke member8.'- The articulat tion comprises a aballrjointi'with two vballs "8, "3 and sockets 6-, f6; Thefsocket. this 'fixedsto; plate- 3 I secured'to the yoke, while the socket 6 is secured to the tray-holder which comprises a clamp 4 provided with wing nut 5. The yoke is made of any suitable slightly elastic and flexible material, e. g. a metal such as brass, or a plastic material such 'as' Celluloid. The tray is initially filled with a usual plastic impression'mass and inserted in the mouth of the patient who bites thereon. Then the clamp 4 is fixed to the tail 2 and the facebow is closely applied to the face and adjusted in the ear-nose plane, as shown in Fig. 5. The ball joints are then immobilized by tightening clamping screws II, II;
The facebow is also fitted at the ends ofythe yoke with condyle marker attachments. These comprise each a block 12 slidable on the yoke, and a clamping screw for immobilizing the blockl2. A head I3 is provided with a holder pin inserted in a corresponding, bore of the block l2 and adapted'to be immobilized by means of" a clamping screw, while-a condyle pin I provided with a scale is slidable in, the head 13 with friction. The, blockslZ andpheads 13 are so adjusted that the pins [4 point. towards, the condyles, and slight pressure is exerted on' pins l4 for making them, contact the condyles.
The facebow and tray are now withdrawn from the patient without alteration of their irelative positions.
Now, a thin impressionmade in the tray, andat, the same time a soclel5 of a stiff plaster mix, still somewhat plastic, isprepared on a castingtable or plate 9-(Fig. 6). The facebow and tray are turned upside down, the reversed facebowis laid, on the table, and the tray with its plaster; filling on the socle i5. The twoplaster masses'are now; allowed tocombine andset. The-upper face of the castreproducesthe jaw with; its-crest while its bottom face includes with its upper-face the sameangle as the ear-nose plane does with the crest of the jaw. The bottomface of the socle can "thus serve-as a plane of reference'for re-.-
producing in the model the occlusal plane;
While the socle I 5 is still in a plastic state, two crank axle pins l6, l6 are anchored therein. Their ends are formed by sleeves H, H. The position of the axle pins is so-adjusted thatthe sleeves l1, l1 receivethe condyle, pins I 4 of'thefacebow in the positions given to the pins while; the facebow had been appliedito the head of the patient. The correct reproduction of these positions can-be checked by means of the scale marked on the condyle'pins: When the'plaster cast is;-afterwards inserted in thexarticulator, the'sleeves of said axle pins are slid on theaxle of the articulator which brings the cast into the proper distance from the latteraxle, i.- e; at the same distance as the natural denture'h'as from the condyles in the mouth of the particular patient.
v A lug I8 is also anchored in the socle l5 Its plaster-of-Paris'mix is cast in the:
4 low edge of the upper lip. Then a conventional denture base 22 and rim 23 of wax or the like soft material are cast on the plaster cast. Now, the cutting implement shown in Fig. 9 is resorted to. This comprises a vertical standard 25 with foot 24 and ahorizontal blade 26 secured by means of a clamping -screw IS in a holder 20 slidable on the standard 25. The blade 26 is adjusted at a height above the table corresponding to the vertical dimension of the denture ascertained as described above, and secured in this position by a screw 2|. Then the wax rim uis levelled by moving the cutting implement the patient, the top face of the wax rim repre-- 1 sents the occlusal plane.
