6.1 Average model orientation of dentulous
and edentulous cases with a rubber band
6.1.1 Return articulator to the initial set position
– Check if Bennett inserts (3.1)
are secured in place.
– Mount centric rubber bands
(4.2).
– Bring centric fixation lock
(4.1) into the upper position
and secure in place.

Adjust mesial contact area either
between the mandibular central
incisors or on the wax bite block,
according to the tip of the incisal
indicator (1.3).
Example: edentulous case
6.1.5 For best results, mount
mandibular model on modelling
material and adjust. After that,
cast maxillary model.
Example: dentulous case
6.2 Average orientation of dentulous cases with
the set-up table
6.2.1 Return the articulator to the initial set position
–
See 6.1.1 for description
Remove the incisal indicator (1.3).
6.2.2 Mount instrument carrier

6.2.3 Insert set-up table
completely into the instrument
carrier and secure it.
6.2.4 Place articulator with the
upper frame (2.3) facing down on
the table. Orientate the dentulous
mandibular model according to
the mesial contact area and
symmetry in the molar region. If
necessary, use modelling material
to hold it in place.
6.2.5 Apply plaster on model
and base block and close
articulator slowly.
6.2.6 Then, orientate maxillary model in the usual manner.
