V. THE DENAR ® MARK <strong>II</strong><br />
FACEBOW/EARBOW (Model D31AB)<br />
The Denar ® <strong>Mark</strong> <strong>II</strong> Facebow/Earbow is<br />
used to register the correct position for<br />
the patient’s maxillary cast to be mounted<br />
in the articulator. In other words, the<br />
facebow/earbow records the relation of<br />
the patient’s maxillary dental structures<br />
to the horizontal reference plane and<br />
transfers this relationship to the articulator.<br />
The use of the Denar ® Facebow/ Earbow<br />
involves three overall procedures:<br />
A. Locating three reference points<br />
on the patient’s face<br />
B. Assembling the facebow/earbow<br />
on the patient<br />
C. Transferring the facebow/earbow<br />
to the articulator<br />
The detailed steps of each of these<br />
three procedures is as follows.<br />

LOCATING THREE REFERENCE<br />
POINTS ON THE PATIENT’S FACE<br />
The components of the facebow kit<br />
needed are: the reference plane locator<br />
and reference plane marker. These<br />
two items are used to locate three anatomical<br />
reference points on the patient’s<br />
face. Of these three points, two are posterior<br />
and one is anterior.<br />
There are two means of locating the<br />
posterior points. The first is by precise<br />
location of the terminal hinge axis<br />

with a hinge axis locator.1 The second<br />
means is by locating the points by average<br />
anatomical measurement, which is<br />
simpler and faster, and is the procedure<br />
described in this section of this manual.<br />
1. Other reference material must be consulted for detailed instructions on how to precisely<br />
locate the terminal hinge axis position (i.e., the “Denar ® Procedures <strong>Manual</strong> – Procedures for<br />
Occlusal Treatment” or the “Denar ® Office Tutor” ).<br />
