Simplest data transfer (KaVo Transfer System)

Thanks to the unique KaVo Transfer System (KTS for short), there is no need to use a face bow.

The upper jaw model is automatically placed in the centre of the KaVo PROTARevo articulator. The ARCUSdigma 3 software calculates the dynamic setting parameters for the position of the model in the PROTARevo articulator. Difficulties in positioning the model in the articulator, as can occur when using a face bow, are a thing of the past. The ARCUSdigma software transfers the dynamic gnathological parameters to the patient casts in the articulator.

Alternatively, traditional transfer with a face bow via the arbitrary axis is still possible.

What is gnathological motion analysis needed for?

  • Assists technicians to significantly improve occlusal morphology by simulating patient jaw movements
  • Fewer corrections needed in the mouth 
  • Less adjustments to the sensitive high-performance ceramic restorative materials

 

Time savings

  • Measurement takes less than five minutes
  • Thanks to the integrated KaVo Transfer System (KTS), a face bow is no longer required
  • Few corrections when placing restorations 

Reliability of the process for the dental technician

  • The determined (KTS) values can be transferred to the articulator easily by the dental technician 
  • Simpler, easier process for checking the bite compared to the classic procedure with the help of dynamic wax registrations 

Reliability of the process for the dentist

  • Reproducible and verifiable determination of the patient's centric lower jaw position
  • Various software modules for in-depth diagnostics
  • Ability to display different TMJ positions graphically and their comparison (software module EPA)
  • Ability to display jaw movements graphically for diagnostic purposes
  • Therapeutic results can be checked and documented by superimposing the measurements (software module functional diagnostics)
