CR Bite Wax - Registration Plates

Package:

(10x CR Bite Wax)

Product description

The AFR Mini-REG is an anterior functional registration device to trace the movement of the mandible. Like any conventional JIG splint, the AFR Mini-Reg is designed to temporarily deprogram the neuromuscular system. Like any other JIG splint a neuromuscular relaxation can be achieved. Interfering occlusal influences are prevented. The maximum movement of the mandible is recorded in the form of an arrow angle, also known as the Gothic arch tracing.

This information can be transferred to a centric bite registration. This simple, fast and easy method is used to determine the mandibular relationship and the centric condylar position (CR-Position). The correct centric relation can be used for mounting the upper and lower cast models CR when mounting in the articulator. The CR-Position will be transferred to the articulator with the CR Bite Wax registration plate.

The AFR-Mini-Reg is ready for immediate use and it comes in one size. The unique combination of an anterior JIG with integrated registration function is a quick way to determine the centric condylar position and maximum mandibular movement.

Additional Information

The AFR-Mini-Reg is the only neuromuscular deprogrammer which visualizes the mandible movement using the gothic Arch like comparable systems from Gsy, Gerber etc. This can be useful in preparation for mounting in the articulator (= device for simulating the temporomandibular joint movement).

If the ICP-Position is detected in the plane of mandible movement, the CR-Position is correct. Subsequently, incidental tooth corrections can be made to achieve a relaxed jaw position. Wearing the AFR-Mini-REG for 5 minutes before taking a bite is recommended to achieve sufficient neuromuscular relaxation.

Instructions

The AFR Mini-Reg JIG Splint is cleaned with a disinfectant towel before registration. The Anterior Functional Registration tool is attached to the upper and lower incisors. Parts A and B of the Mini-Reg are firmly attached to the incisors with suitable material such as (Compound Sticks, Putty Silicon, PVS, Bite Registration Silicon,...).

A thin coat of BAUSCH Arti-Spray white BK 285 can be sprayed onto the registration plateau to check the lower jaw movement. The patient should now move the mandible in all horizontal directions. The tip of the Gothic arch is the CR position (centric relation) of the mandible. Heat the supplied CR Bite Wax to approx. 50°C. The lower jaw is guided into the CR position and the bite registration is fixed with the wax plate.

After transferring the maxillary model using a facebow, both models are mounted in the articulator. Before the lower model is integrated into the articulator, the incisal pin must be extended by 10 mm to compensate for the vertical dimension of the CR Bite Wax. This is the maximum vertical dimension of the AFR Mini Reg. In CR position, the condyles are in rotation. Therefore, increasing the bite by ≤ 10 mm has no significant effect on the exact CR position.

After mounting the models, the vertical dimension is lowered in the articulator until the first occlusal interference contact in CR position can be detected with the Shimstock Foil (BAUSCH Arti-Fol Metallic BK 38). This first contact in CR should also be reproducible on the patient with Articulating Paper (Bausch Progess 100).

If the ICP position could be detected in the plane of the mandibular movement, the CR position is correct. The self-adhesive millimeter labels can also be used to record the mandibular movement with an occlusion test foil (Arti-Fol). This label can be sealed with the attached plastic label and filed in the patient file.
