5.5 Retrusive movement (9.0)
A retrusive movement can only be performed if
the centric lock and the retrusion lock are open.
This opens the way for retrusive movement.
6. Practical Application of Model Orientation
6.1 Dentulous or edentulous case with
rubber band (average value)
> Set up the appliance as described under 4.2.
> The notches in the side columns and the circular
groove on the vertical guide rod can be used to
orient the occlusal plane.
> Place the plaster on the mounting plate and
base block, and slowly close the articulator. Next,
fit a thin rubber band. Then attach it around the
columns, in the notches and beneath the longer
part of the incisal pointer.
> Align the occlusal plane with the rubber band.
> Align the incisal pointer between the mandib-
ular central incisors or on the wax rim with the
respective mark. Ideally, fix the lower model
with modelling material and align. Finally, cast
the upper model in plaster.

7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning
The CA 3.0 is a precision instrument and should
only be steam cleaned. If no steam-jet equipment
is available, it should be rinsed off with clean, hot
water. All contact with strong acids and solvents
and cleaning with ultrasonic equipment are to be
avoided. Do not scrape the surface of the appliance
with sharp objects.
7.2 Maintenance checks (10.0)
How often these checks need to be carried out
will depend on the intensity of use and the user's
working methods. For this reason, the stated fre-
quency should only be taken as a guide.
Check – for cracks and signs of damage
Part – O ring seal
Frequency – Once a month
How to replace
> Open centric lock, and open and tighten retru-
sion lock.
> With the articulator open and lying on its side,
slip the O ring seal over the joint axle from the
outside and push over the guide edges using a
blunt instrument.
> Fit O-ring seal. (10.0)
