- Hanau H2 ( MODEL 96 )
- Introduced first in 1923 by RUDOLF HANAU This model was developed in 1958
- Non arcon: with condylar guides in the lower member
- Intercondylar distance was fixed at 110 mm.
- HCG could be adjusted from – 40° to + 80°using protrusive records.
- LCG could be adjusted from 0° to 20° using the Hanau’s formula.
- Accepts a face bow transfer (can accept four types of face bow transfers facia type, ear piece type, twirl
bow, and adjustable axis or kinematic face bow)
- The lateral side shift was increased from 0 – 30 degrees (This angle is termed the progressive Bennett angle
and corresponds to the medial wall of the patients fossa).
- Adjustable incisal guide:
- This provides an independent adjustment of anterior guidance.
- The incisal guide can rotate antero-posteriorly from a horizontal 0° to a 60° positive inclination of
protrusion which is then secured by a small locknut.
- The central guiding table is 5.56mm wide and forms the inclined surface for the protrusive guidance of
the incisal pin.
- Separately adjustable lateral wings elevate by thumbscrews from 0° horizontal to 45° incline
- Midline groove about 1 inch from the spherical tip which is aligned with top edge of the upper member.
- Two annular grooves on the Incisal Pin at 37 ( Bonwill’s theory ) and 54 mm below the Frankfort
Horizontal Plane. which Arbitrary vertical landmarks alignment of the incisal edge of the maxillary centrals
when making a Facebow transfer.
- Five additional lines in mm on each side for altering the VD.
