The standard facebow is an instrument that records the spatial position of the upper jaw in relation to the mandibular axis of rotation and to anatomical reference points on the skull. Its main function is to transfer this information to the articulator, where the study models will be mounted. This reduces the margin of error in the fabrication of prostheses, restorations, or oral rehabilitation treatments.

The Bioart Standard Facebow Fork is the part that adapts to the patient’s upper arch. It is generally covered with a recording material, such as wax or silicone, which allows for the precise capture of the maxillary relationship. Once correctly positioned in the mouth, it is attached to the facebow, ensuring stability during the recording procedure.

The proper use of the standard facebow with all its components, such as the Bioart Standard Facebow Fork, offers multiple clinical benefits. It allows for the reproduction of mandibular movements that more closely resemble the patient’s actual movements, improves the final occlusion of the prostheses, and reduces subsequent adjustments. Furthermore, it contributes to the functional harmony of the stomatognathic system, promoting long-term comfort and health.

In conclusion, within the Bioart articulator approach, the facebow and the standard facebow are essential tools for ensuring accuracy, functionality, and quality in dental treatments, integrating science and technology to serve the patient’s well-being.

The facebow fork is also known as the facebow holder.
