A comparison of facebow and dentofacial analyzer mountings.

Aim: This investigation compared the accuracy and reliability of one arbitrary facebow (4000 FB Pana -Mount) to the recently introduced "Dento-Facial Analyzer" (4300 FB Kois) for locating and trasferring the hinge axis to articulator. A kinematically located transverse horizontal axis provided the reference.

Material And Methods: Fourteen subjects, 9 female and 5 male, and 3 types of facebows were utilized in this study.

Casting titanium partial denture frameworks: a radiographic evaluation.
