30
Q

purpose of the facebow

A

orient the maxillary cast to the rotational axis in three planes

31
Q

using a facebow will result in reproducible articulation of the subsequent — casts

A

maxillary

32
Q

the facebow orients the dental cast in the same relationship to the

A

opening axis of the articulator

33
Q

usually the anatomic references are the (2)

A

mandibular condyles transverse horizontal axis and one other selected anterior point

34
Q

kinematic locates the

A

true transverse horizontal axis of rotation

35
Q

arbitrary locates the

A

axis by using anatomical landmarks

36
Q

arbitrary utilizes — — to approximately locate the axis of rotation

A

average measurements

37
Q

transverse horizontal axis (terminal hinge axis)

A

imaginary axis which passes through each of the mandibular condyles

38
Q

it is around the transverse horizontal axis that the — of the mandible occurs

A

pure rotational movement of the mandible

39
Q

the transverse horizontal axis is about – mm under the soft tissues in the front of the — (on each side of the face)

A

8 mm

tragus

40
Q

Bergstrom point

A

a point 10 mm anterior to the center of a spherical insert in the external auditory meatus and 7 mm below the Frankfort horizontal plane

41
Q

Ear-bow

A

Indexes to external auditory meatus and registers the relation of the max arch to these and a horizontal reference plane

42
Q

the facebow orients the maxillary cast to a

A

reference plane

43
Q

the reference plane requires – points

A

3

two on each side of the face and one on the anterior face

44
Q

the anterior reference point is also known as the

A

3rd point of reference
