Accurately transferring a maxillary model in three planes of space to an articulator is essential for predictability and accuracy whether we are using the models for diagnostic or restorative purposes. If we work with mounted models where the radius of the arc of rotation, or the position of the maxilla are different then the clinical reality all of the tooth contacts other then intercuspal will be different int he mouth than what we see on the bench top. Additionally we are looking to transfer esthetic information, incisal plane compared to the horizon, which can not be accomplished if the upper model is hand mounted. The Kois Dentofacial Analyzer is a quick, simple and predictable way to mount the maxillary model to ensure functional and esthetic predictability. This video demonstrates capturing the record.
