Facebow registration (Fig. 2) is an in-

dispensible part of these patient data.

The cranium-axis relationship of the

upper jaw can be transferred to the

articulator and articulated (Fig. 15 and

16) with the aid of the facebow regis-

tration. Once the dental technician

finds the centric occlusion using the

centric relationship (Fig. 7) and can

thus eliminate interfering high spots,

there is nothing in the way of fabrica-

ting a functional restoration.

With the aid of the dynamic bite re-

gistration (Fig. 3 to 6) the individual

values of the inclination of condylar

guidance (Fig. 19) and Bennett ang-

le (Fig. 20 and 21) can also be indi-

vidually programmed on the articu-

lator.

A functioning articulator in the CAD

software provides the user with the

possibility of already incorporating all

the functional procedures in the resto-

ration using these parameters during

the design.

From analogue to digital

The dental technician already lays the

foundations for a fitting, functioning

restoration during model fabrication

(Fig. 9 to 11). With the segmented mo-

dels and the resulting expansion cont-

rol (Fig.12 to 14), the technician can
