WHY SHOULD THE
MARK II SYSTEM BE USED
Simple and Practical to Use
The Denar
®
Mark II Articulator and
Facebow System enables the user to
quickly and easily mount casts of a
patient’s teeth on an instrument that is
both an equivalent of their natural rela-
tionship and which also can be mechan-
ically programmed to simulate the
mandibular movements of the patient.
To accomplish this mechanical equiva-
lence, the Mark II articulator has adjust-
ment capability to duplicate the more
clinically significant movements of the
mandible. Those condylar paths of
movement of lesser clinical significance
have not been ignored, but instead, are
constructed to average anatomic
dimensions.
Accurate Diagnostic and
Treatment System
The Mark II System is a particularly use-
ful tool for the diagnosis and for the fab-
rication of restorations when not utilizing
a pantograph and fully adjustable artic-
ulator. The simplicity and accuracy with
which the system may be used enables
the user to produce precision occlusal
restorations that require significantly
less in the mouth modifications than
restorations constructed on articulators
of lesser adjustment capability.
Excellent Learning Tool
The Mark II System is built around
sound principles of human anatomy and
is consequently ideal for study of TMJ
characteristics and theories of occlu-
sion. Understanding this system facili-
tates progress to a fully adjustable artic-
ulator as the movements and adjust-
ments are the same.
Constructed with Clinically
Needed Features
The Mark II System is easy to use. The
articulator is rigid with a very positive
centric lock. It is of the Arcon construc-
tion with the back designed for maxi-
mum lingual visibility to the casts. The
upper and lower bows come apart and
lock together in the open and closed
positions (no rubber bands needed).
The articulator can be placed level in the
upside down position for mounting the
casts without the need of a plastering
stand. The facebow sidearms are inde-
pendently adjustable and can be locat-
ed to either the hinge axis or the exter-
nal auditory meatus (opening) of the
ears.
Economical
The Mark II Articulator which is compet-
itively priced is also two instruments in
one. Not only is it a semiadjustable
articulator with the features described
above, but also because of the microm-
eter adjustments in the condylar areas,
the condyles can be adjusted three
dimensionally with the Denar
®
Field
Inspection Gage to tolerances of plus or
minus .001 inches (.025 mm) which
allows transfer of the mounted casts to
other Denar
®
articulators. This feature
reduces the need for a separate articu-
lator for every restoration under con-
struction.
