3. Product Description
3.1 Functional description
The Stratos 100 is an average-value articulator built according to
the Camper's plane (CP). It is fully coordinated with the Ivoclar
Vivadent Biofunctional Prosthetic System (BPS). Consequently, the
articulator facilitates the easy and effective application of a
prosthetic system that has been successful for many years.
The device is equipped with a fix protrusion path angle of 30°.
The Bennett angle is 15° and 30°.
Furthermore, a retrusive movement of 35° as well as an
“immediate side shift” are integrated in the Stratos 100.
A newly developed activable centric locking system permits the
articulator to be set to a precise, reproducible initial set position
and facilitates separation and connection of the upper and lower
frames. Even when the centric lock is open, the upper and lower
frames are still connected. Only after removing the centric rubber
bands from their retainers can the two parts be separated.
The locating holes for transferbows, automatic centric return and
a non-slip base are all standard equipment. In addition, the
Stratos 100 features a dirt-and-wear-resistant finish.
A wide range of accessories permits the Stratos 100 to meet the
specific needs and requirements of every user.
3.2 Indication and contraindication
Indication
The articulator is suitable for the spatial fixation of models for
lab-fabricated reconstructions. The basic equipment permits
simulation of average movement patterns of the human
temporomandibular joint.
Contraindication
No contraindications are known to date provided that
the articulator is used strictly according to the
Operating Instructions.
