FINESSE A-RH (reduced height) - FINO

1. The Articulator
The articulator is the most important device for the fabrication of dental restorations.
Thereby the function as well as the aesthetic of prosthetic work is closely related to the
quality of the articulator that was used. Different types of restorations as well as the individual
intraoral situation of the patient make high demands on the used articulators.
ARCON and NON ARCON articulators: ARCON stands for articulator condyle. In
ARCON articulators, the condylar balls are attached to the lower part of the articulator.
In NON ARCON articulators they are in the upper part. Thus upper and lower parts of
an articulator form a single unit. The condylar ball is design-related guided in the lower
part of the articulator. This prevents malfunctions, which might be caused by an insufficient
guidance while working.
2. FINESSE Articulators
The articulators FINESSE A, FINESSE A-RH, FINESSE B-RH and FINESSE TK have
the same basic design. Upper and lower parts of the articulators are adjusted centrally to
each other.
Compared to the types FINESSE A und FINESSE TK the articulators FINESSE A-RH
and FINESSE B-RH have been reduced in total height. Thus the articulators with the
additional designation RH correspond to the mounting heights of the earlier Artex ® -
articulators. Because also the base as well as the Splitex ® plates of the Artex®articulators
can be used, both systems are compatible.
Upper and lower parts of the articulators are varnished. All screws are made of stainless
steel. Delivery includes: FINESSE articulator complete with base plates, incisal support,
incisal table and incisal guidance pin.
The incisal guidance pin has a millimetre scale. The deepest groove corresponds to the
zero position. (Upper and lower part of the articulator are parallel). The incisal guidance
pin is locked with a screw. The boreholes at the incisal guidance pin serve for positioning
the incisal pointer. The hole in the middle is used to position the incisal pointer. The
tip of the incisal pointer marks the incisal point, which is the tip of the Bonwill triangle.
In the FINESSE articulators it has an edge length of 110 mm.
