About facebow forks
The facebow fork is the part of the facebow that attaches the occlusion rim or the natural teeth to the bow.
A facebow is an instrument that records the position of the upper dental arch relative to anatomic reference points and transfers that relationship to an articulator. It orients the cast in the same relationship to the opening axis of the articulator. The usual references are the hinge axis of the lower jaw and one other point toward the front of the face.
The FDA describes a facebow as a device used in making dentures to place the casts accurately into an articulator, and lists it as Class I (21 CFR 872.3220).
What the parts of a facebow do
- Facebow units — The bow itself, which carries the record from the patient to the articulator.
- Facebow forks — The part that goes in the mouth and joins the teeth or occlusion rim to the bow.
- Facebow accessories — Replaceable and add-on parts for a facebow system.
- Articulator accessories — Add-on parts, where replacement parts restore what the instrument came with.
What to look at when choosing a facebow
How the axis is found: an average axis facebow estimates the hinge axis from average landmarks, a kinematic facebow locates it.
The articulator it serves: the record relates the upper cast to the condylar elements of an articulator, so the facebow and the articulator work as a pair. Every facebow on this shelf comes from one maker, and each is made for that maker's articulators.
Cleaning between patients: the CDC lists items used in making prostheses, such as occlusal rims and bite registrations, as possible sources of cross-contamination.
