The SAM® System

Since 1971 SAM® Articulators have been built as Ar-con Type to simulate patient anatomy in the labora-tory. SAM® products enjoy a presence worldwide in dental schools, graduate programs, research, and in all areas of clinical dentistry. SAM® is known for precision in engineering, design, and manufacturing.

The SAM® AXIOGRAPH®, SAM® AXIOTRON®, and the SAM® AXIOQUICK® recorder are mandibular movement recording devices that can be used for examination, research, diagnosis, treatment plan-ning, and therapy. In addition, all devices provide data for the programming of SAM articulators.

SAM® SE ”Special Edition“

The SAM® SE has been designed using fiber glass- reinforced space age plastics that are light, dura-ble, and as precise as the aluminium versions.

All vital ergonomic features have been incorpora-ted into the design of the new SAM® SE Articulator.

Authentic Mandibular Movement Simulation

4

• All SAM® Articulators are made to simulate patient anatomy such that the upper cast has the same cranial relationship as the patient

• Adjustable Condylar Pathway Housing with Standard Curvature 1

• Bennett Guidance corresponds to the green insert in the SAM® system.

Assembly:

The SAM® SE articulator is delivered in an articula-tor box or as part of the SAM® Articulator Kit with Anatomic Facebow.

Place the incisal pin sleeve into the articulator lo-wer member as far as possible and secure it with the SAM® thumb screw (18).

Check if the Centric Locking Assembly is open or closed

You can secure Centric Locking Assembly with the small thumb screw (10).

With the Centric Locking Assembly open, the upper member and the lower member can be easily remo-ved or reattached.

With the centric lock closed, push the condylar ele-ment against the vertical spring loaded plastic cen-tric locking device and the condylar element will pop into a centric locked position. To firmly hold in position, tighten the thumb screw (10).

If individualized horizontal condylar inclination va-lues are not used, an average value of 30° can be used.

To change the inclination angulation, loosen the thumb screw about a half turn, make your changes, and retighten the screws.

Function of the Curvatures:

The curvature shows the movement of the condyle on its pathway. Setting the condylar housing HCI to 30° will result in a changing of pathway incli-nation as the condylar element moves downward and forward or downward, inward and forward. A more shallow HCI pathway can be set by reducing the articulator HCI value.

Mean Average Condylar PathwayAdjustment: HCI 30°

Protruson and Laterotrusion Movements

Moving the lower member condylar element medial towards the yellow condylar housing will automa-tically engage the Bennett Guidance. Further mo-vement will result in the condylar element moving forward and further inward to complete the lateral movement and resulting mediotrusion effect.

Hint:If a protrusion mounting of the lower cast is desired, place the desired millimeter amount distal to the condylar element and lock the con-dyles in position with the thumb screw. Secure the lower cast to the lower mounting plate.

AXIOQUICK® Anatomic Facebow

The SAM® Esthetic Cranial Related Anatomic Facebow is used to record and transfer patient anatomy toany SAM® articulator.

Please consult the AXIOQUICK®-Anatomic Facebow Manual forcomplete details.

Mounting Pin for AnatomicFacebow on the SE

You can attach the facebow directly to the articu-lator. Remove the hygienic earpiece caps from both earpieces and position the hole in each earpiece in contact with the small pins distal to the condylar elements. The anterior part of the facebow is in contact with the flat surface of the incisal table. Be sure to tighten the facebow thumb screw.

If you do not use the telescopic transfer fork suppo-prt, we highly recommend the SAM® Acrylic Block (ART 634).

Using the Acrylic Block also serves to support moun-ting the lower member.

Optional Accessories:

Adjustable Incisal Table

The Adjustable Incisal Table can be used to simu-late anterior guidance pathways from data gathe-red from patient mounted casts or from diagnostic waxups.

Table angles can be set for protrusion or lateral mo-vement pathways.

Transfer Stand AX

Instead of attaching the Facebow directly to the articulator for transfering, you can use the univer-sal transfer stand AX (ATB 398) and the Telesopic Transfer Fork Support.

Occlusal Plane Indicator (Curved)

The Occlusal Plane Indicator (ART 385) is used in complete prosthodontic setups or can be used for average value setup positioning of the upper cast in the articulator, in the absence of a facebow transfer.

All SAM® accessories can be used with the SE articulator (see current SAM catalog).
