For maximum accuracy of fit for
well-functioning dentures, working
with an articulator is essential. The
specific challenges are to record
the patient’s jaw position quickly
and reliably, and to transfer this
information precisely and as simply
as possible between the dentist
and the dental technician.
Artex® is renowned worldwide as
being fully functional and reliable,
and for dentists and dental technicians alike it is an effective aid in
recording static jaw relationships
and simulating jaw movements.
The system‘s modular design means
that it can be used for specific
requirements, thereby offering
maximum flexibility.
The Artex®system:
for the best possible link-up
between dentist and dental
technician. For the ultimate in
reliability and accuracy. For
perfect service to the patient.

articulator
The high-performance, precise and transferable system for simulating jaw movement.
Artex®facebow
Artex®articulators
Artex®Articulators - effective, precise, stable and sensitive movement simulators.
Related to everyday practice, reliable and competitively
priced - Artex® is known for these qualities worldwide,
and with these performance features it ranks amongst
the most widely-distributed of articulators. The Artex®
range employs a modular design and is geared to responding to the necessary demands. The facebow facilitates
patient-analogous working using the articulator, with
the articulator taking the place of the patient in simulating movement. For this reason, articulators need to
exhibit the same sensitivity as teeth, function accurately
and provide maximum stability simultaneously.

A key challenge lies in the collaboration between the dentist and the dental technician. What the dental technician
manufactures using the articulator needs to work well on
the patient. For this, the articulator offers a unique opportunity to understand the patient‘s movements. A reproducible centric position ensures a safe start and end position.
Defects smaller than 20 µm can be discovered, checked
and corrected using the Artex® articulator. The facebow
transfers the patient‘s maxillary position to the articulator,
with reference to the cranium axis.

With the aid of this patient-analogous transfer, dentist and
dental technician can communicate, conduct analysis and
perform checks. Calibrated articulators make it easier to
transfer the model from the practice to the laboratory: and
dentures constructed using the articulator and checked
for function will exhibit identical receptor-fine tactile sense
in the patient. This receptor-fine Artex® precision has been
impressively confirmed by a scientific study at Tuft’s
University in Boston (USA).

calibration
facebow
Using the Splitex® key and Splitex® plate set, all Artex®
articulators are calibrated similarly. This magnetic plate
system serves as a metrical aid to calibrate different
articulators. The precision of calibration is such that
deviations are brought down to below 20 µm. This means
that models can be mounted and changed with precision
on any calibrated Artex®.
The Artex® facebow is not
just a success on account of
its ease of handling, but also
makes it possible to work
rapidly and economically: in
just two minutes, the cranium/axis relation is determined in corresponding to
the patient‘s anatomy.
Additionally, the ability to calibrate the Artex® articulators
simplifies the process of transferring the model from the
practice to the laboratory. Where both parties have a
calibrated articulator, then only the models need to be
transported, and not the complete articulator. Not only
does this protect the articulator against handling problems,
it also saves on postal charges.
In functional diagnostics
and treatment, it is an indispensable tool which
considerably reduces grinding time at chairside.
It can also be used for
electronic registration as a
standard facebow with
Cadiax® compact.

transfer stand
For optimally safe transport of patient data, the universal
joint with bite fork is removed from the facebow and inserted into the transfer stand. There, the bite fork is fixed in
plaster and then separated from the universal support.
Now all the information is located securely and permanently
on the removable transfer table, and can be safely transported.
_ Saves time and plaster working at the dental practice,
and ensures safe transport to the laboratory
_ Saves on procurement of multiple facebows
_ Saves time on mounting the maxillary model
_ Simplest system on the market for transferring the
facebow record from the dental practice to the
laboratory

Artex®/Splitex® mounting articulator
The mounting articulator is not used as an articulator, but
can be understood as a device which protects this precision
instrument. Since models can be freely exchanged between
similarly-calibrated articulators, they do not need to be
transported in the articulator but can be transferred using
mounting articulators which are similarly calibrated to the
same model settings.
_ Safeguards articulators against water and plaster dirt
_ Compatible with all types of facebow and transfer systems
_ Centric and vertical height are fixed using rigid hinge
axis/incisal pins
_ Easy removal of the models due to a detachable magnet
in the upper frame

Fundamental scale for average-value alignment of the
endentulous mandible model at the symphysis and retromolar pads
Artex® set-up templates
Guide for set-up of full dentures according to the Spee/
Wilson occlusion curve. The horizontally and vertically
adjustable device with occlusal plane indicator and adjustable inclination supports the different templates.
_ Flat template for average-value mounting of dentulous

_ Screw or magnet version, to be ordered separately or
as a set
Dr. Behrend type clinometer
Adjustable Perspex® shield furnished with several vertical
lines and two horizontal lines, for transferring physiognomic
esthetic parameters. Once adjusted to the facebow, the
horizontal lines can be aligned to match the eyes and the
line of the anterior teeth, using the rotary control. The tooth
position as determined is represented as an angle, and can
be transferred to the articulator in the laboratory to recreate
the position of the anterior teeth.
_ Determines asymmetries and compensates them during
set-up
_ Supplies the technician with important esthetic information
_ Helps to prevent remakes, improves function and esthetics
Artex® anterior guidance
Special accessory which fits in all Artex articulators, to
mechanically individualize/program the anterior area.
_ Micrometer pin to exactly raise/lower the anterior
guidance in steps of 1/10 mm
_ Individual anterior guidance using radially guided pin
with infinitely variable table plate (protrusion 0-40 °,
laterotrusion 0-70 °, turning to right and left)
_ Cranked pin provides for unhindered access during
anterior set-up and maintains clear sightlines
Artex® set-up index key for the maxilla
This facilitates average-value alignment of the endentulous
maxilla at the remaining anatomical fold in the throat. The
vertical adjustment of the support fork and the reciprocal
bar facilitate improved individual positioning of the model.
_ Semi-individual positioning in the articulator without
