Abstract

In many current digital workflows for the production of occlusal devices and dentures, the traditional facebow record for the individual determination of the hinge axis has been omitted. A novel digital facebow record procedure including a scannable occlusal fork is described as a straightforward to use, cost-effective, and less time-consuming alternative to close this gap in fully digital prosthetic workflows.
