Prior to starting the prosthetics treatment, a crucial thing is proper planning, based on photographs, radiograms, gypsum models and occlusal analysis.
In order to perform precise prosthetics works, the dental technician needs to reconstruct on models the actual work of the patient’s masticatory apparatus. This is made possible by using, among others, the face-bow. It makes possible fast and precise determination of the spatial position of the patient’s jaws in relation to mandibular joints.
The use of face-bow has the following benefits for the patient:
- Greater comfort of use of prosthetics works.
- Faster getting used to the new prosthetic work.
- Avoiding the occurrence of disorders in joints,
- Achieving the optimum effects of the prosthetic treatment.
