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 />
