Hanau Articulator and the Mechanics of the Gnathic System


1. Introduction

The Hanau articulator is a semi-adjustable mechanical instrument that simulates the movements of the human mandible relative to the maxilla. It was developed by Rudolph L. Hanau in the 1920s and remains one of the most widely used articulators in prosthodontics, particularly for complete denture construction, fixed prosthetics, and occlusal rehabilitation.
The fundamental goal of any articulator is to reproduce the gnathic system - the functional unit comprising the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), muscles of mastication, teeth, and associated supporting structures.

2. Classification of Articulators

Before discussing the Hanau specifically, the classification context is important:
ClassTypeExamples
ISimple hinge (non-adjustable)Hinge articulator
IIAverage valueGaletti, Dentatus ARL
IIISemi-adjustableHanau H2, Whip-Mix, Denar Mark II
IVFully adjustableStuart, Gnathograph, Denar D5A
The Hanau H2 falls in Class III (semi-adjustable) - it can be adjusted for condylar inclination and Bennett angle, but uses average values for other parameters.

3. Historical Development

  • 1920s: Rudolph L. Hanau introduced the original articulator based on his research into complete denture occlusion.
  • Hanau's Quint (1926): He proposed five interrelated factors governing balanced occlusion, which became the theoretical foundation of the instrument.
  • Models: Hanau 130-21, Hanau H2 (most popular), Hanau Modular Articulator System.
  • The Hanau H2 uses an Arcon design (articulator condyle) where the condylar elements are in the lower member and the fossae are in the upper member - mimicking actual anatomy.

4. Hanau's Quint - The Five Factors of Balanced Occlusion

Hanau identified five interdependent mechanical factors (the "Quint") governing balanced occlusion. These form the core mechanics of the gnathic system as replicated by the articulator:

Factor 1: Condylar Guidance (Sagittal Condylar Inclination - SCI)

  • The angle the condylar path makes with the horizontal reference plane (Frankfort or occlusal plane).
  • In the Hanau H2: adjusted by a protractor scale on the condylar housing, typically set from 0° to 60°.
  • Average value: ~33° (range 15°-60°).
  • As SCI increases, the posterior teeth must be higher (more cusp height) to maintain balance.
  • Obtained by: protrusive interocclusal records, then transferred to the articulator.

Factor 2: Incisal Guidance (Anterior Guidance)

  • The angle the incisal guide pin traces on the incisal guide table during protrusion.
  • Determined by the incisal guide table on the articulator's anterior end.
  • Directly influenced by anterior tooth position and vertical/horizontal overlap (overjet and overbite).
  • Average value: ~10° (can be flat, 0°, or steep).
  • If incisal guidance is steep, posterior cusps must be steep to balance; if flat, cusps must be shallow.

Factor 3: Plane of Occlusion

  • The orientation of the occlusal plane relative to the condylar path.
  • If the plane of occlusion is raised (tilted more steeply), balance is harder to achieve.
  • Measured by the occlusal plane angle relative to the axis-orbital plane.
  • Adjusted by the height of the occlusal rims during try-in.

Factor 4: Compensating Curve (Anteroposterior and Lateral Curves)

  • Curve of Spee (anteroposterior): The arc of curvature of the occlusal surfaces when viewed from the side, concave upward.
  • Curve of Wilson (lateral/transverse): The lateral curvature of the buccal and lingual cusps from side to side.
  • Together they form the Monson sphere concept (teeth ideally arranged on a sphere of 4-inch radius).
  • The Hanau articulator accommodates the compensating curve by adjusting the mounting of casts.

Factor 5: Cusp Height and Inclination

  • The steepness of cusp inclines on posterior teeth.
  • Steeper cusps provide better balance but increase lateral forces.
  • Shallower cusps (monoplane or 0°-cusp teeth) are more forgiving on residual ridges.
  • The cusp angle must harmonize with SCI, incisal guidance, and the plane of occlusion.

Hanau's Formula (Condensed Quint Relationship)

Compensating Curve = (SCI + Incisal Guidance) / 8
This empirical formula summarizes that the compensating curve needed to achieve balance is a function of the two guidance values.

5. Structural Components of the Hanau H2 Articulator

Upper Member (Maxillary Frame)

  • Holds the maxillary cast via the upper mounting plate.
  • Contains the condylar fossae/guidances (in Arcon design) - the slots that the condylar balls ride in.
  • The condylar guidance inclination is set here via a calibrated scale.
  • Attached to the upper frame are the lateral wall guides for Bennett movement.

Lower Member (Mandibular Frame)

  • Holds the mandibular cast via the lower mounting plate.
  • Contains the condylar balls (condylar elements) in Arcon design.
  • The condylar balls sit in the fossae of the upper member.

Condylar Mechanism

  • Located at the posterior aspect of each side.
  • The condylar housing contains a graduated protractor to set SCI (0°-60°).
  • The condylar path is a straight ramp (not curved) - a limitation of semi-adjustable articulators.
  • The intercondylar distance is fixed at ~110 mm (average value) in standard Hanau H2; some models offer three intercondylar settings (narrow, medium, wide).

Incisal Guide Pin and Table

  • Located at the anterior aspect between the two members.
  • The incisal guide pin extends downward from the upper member and rests on the incisal guide table below.
  • The incisal guide table can be angled (adjustable) or flat (average value, typically 10°).
  • A custom incisal guide table can be fabricated chairside in acrylic.
  • Controls the anterior determinant of occlusion.

Mounting Plates

  • Upper and lower mounting plates accept the dental casts with plaster/stone.
  • The facebow record is used to mount the maxillary cast so it is spatially oriented relative to the hinge axis - this is transferred via the earbow or kinematic facebow.

Hinge Axis

  • The transverse hinge axis (terminal hinge axis / centric relation axis) is the reference axis around which pure rotation of the mandible occurs.
  • The Hanau H2 uses an arbitrary hinge axis (pre-auricular point, 13 mm anterior to the tragus of the ear) rather than a true kinematic axis.
  • All centric relation records are made with the condyles in their most superior, anterior, and medial position in the glenoid fossa.

Bennett Movement Control

  • The lateral wall of the condylar housing provides resistance to mediotrusive (non-working) condyle movement.
  • The Bennett angle (also called the Fischer angle) is the angle the working condyle moves laterally, typically 0°-30°, average 15°.
  • Some Hanau models have adjustable Bennett angle settings; others use a fixed angle.
  • The immediate side shift (ISS) and progressive side shift can be partially simulated.

6. The Gnathic System - Mechanics in Detail

The gnathic system comprises the stomatognathic apparatus - the functional complex that governs all jaw movements.

6a. The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)

  • A ginglymoarthrodial joint - combines rotation (ginglymoid) and translation (arthrodial).
  • The condyle is convex, the articular eminence (posterior slope of the articular tubercle) is concave, and the disc acts as a movable third unit.
  • The disc divides the joint into:
    • Superior compartment: Translation (sliding movements - protrusion, lateral excursion).
    • Inferior compartment: Rotation (hinge movements - mouth opening).
Condylar movement during jaw opening:
  1. First phase (0-25 mm opening): Pure rotation of the condyle in the inferior compartment. The hinge axis is at the condylar heads.
  2. Second phase (25+ mm): Translation begins - the condyle and disc together slide forward and downward along the articular eminence.

6b. Mandibular Movements

1. Centric Relation (CR)
  • The most retruded, reproducible position of the condyles - superior and anterior in the glenoid fossa, against the posterior slopes of the articular eminences.
  • A purely ligamentous position - reproducible and independent of tooth contact.
  • This is the reference position used to mount casts on the Hanau articulator.
2. Centric Occlusion (CO) / Maximum Intercuspation (MIP)
  • The position of maximum tooth contact regardless of condylar position.
  • In ideal occlusion, CO = CR (they coincide).
  • The CR-CO discrepancy (also called "long centric") is typically 0-1 mm anteriorly and is accommodated in prosthetic rehabilitation.
3. Protrusive Movement
  • Both condyles translate forward and downward along the articular eminences.
  • Guided by the disclusion of posterior teeth by the anterior teeth (anterior guidance).
  • The protrusive condylar path angle = condylar inclination = SCI (~33°).
  • The protrusive interocclusal record (with a wax wafer) is used to program the SCI on the Hanau articulator.
4. Lateral (Excursive) Movements
  • Working side (ipsilateral): The condyle on the side toward which the mandible moves performs a rotation + lateral shift - called the Bennett movement or lateral translation.
  • Non-working side (balancing/mediotrusive side): The contralateral condyle moves anteriorly, inferiorly, and medially - tracing the orbiting condyle path.
Bennett Movement in detail:
  • Named after Norman Godfrey Bennett (1906).
  • The working condyle moves laterally outward.
  • Has two components:
    • Immediate side shift (ISS): An initial, immediate bodily lateral translation of the entire mandible at the onset of lateral movement (0-3 mm).
    • Progressive side shift: The gradual lateral displacement that continues throughout the lateral excursion.
  • Bennett angle: The angle between the sagittal plane and the path of the orbiting condyle in the horizontal plane (~15°, range 0°-30°).
  • Programmed on the Hanau articulator via the lateral condylar housing adjustments.
5. Border Movements (Posselt's Envelope)
  • Described by Ulf Posselt (1952) as the three-dimensional envelope of all possible mandibular movements.
  • In the sagittal plane:
    • Superior border: Tooth contact positions from CR through CO to protrusion.
    • Posterior border: Hinge movements from CR (closure) to maximum opening.
    • Anterior border: Maximum protrusion.
    • Inferior border: Maximum opening arc.
  • The articulator can only approximate a portion of this envelope.

7. Occlusal Theories and Their Relationship to the Hanau System

Balanced Occlusion (Bilateral Balance)

  • The goal of complete denture occlusion.
  • All posterior teeth contact simultaneously during all excursive movements (protrusion, lateral excursion) to stabilize the denture bases.
  • The Hanau articulator was specifically designed to help achieve this.
  • Governed by Hanau's Quint.

Mutually Protected Occlusion (Canine-Protected Occlusion)

  • In natural dentition and fixed prosthetics: canines bear lateral loads, disoccluding posterior teeth in lateral excursion.
  • Not applicable to complete dentures (canines cannot protect a denture from tipping).

Group Function Occlusion

  • Multiple posterior teeth contact on the working side during lateral movements.
  • Used in certain fixed prosthodontic cases and implant-supported prostheses.

8. Facebow Transfer and Mounting Procedure

The facebow is essential for accurate use of the Hanau articulator:
  1. Earbow (arbitrary axis): The Hanau earbow (also called the Spring-bow or Springbow) uses ear canal rods positioned ~13 mm anterior to the tragus to locate the approximate hinge axis.
  2. The orbital pointer establishes the third reference point (infraorbital notch), defining the axis-orbital plane (equivalent to the Frankfort plane).
  3. The occlusal rim is attached to the facebow, which is then transferred to the upper member of the Hanau articulator.
  4. This ensures the maxillary cast is positioned in the same spatial relationship to the hinge axis as the maxilla is to the TMJ.
  5. Without a facebow, the cast is arbitrarily mounted - leading to errors in tooth position, occlusal plane, and cusp contact during excursions.

9. Programming the Hanau H2 - Step by Step

StepProcedureRecord Used
1Mount maxillary castFacebow transfer
2Mount mandibular castCentric relation interocclusal record
3Set SCI (condylar inclination)Protrusive interocclusal record (5-6 mm protrusion)
4Set Bennett angleLateral interocclusal record
5Adjust incisal guide tableCustom acrylic or set average 10°
6Check compensating curvesVerify Hanau's formula

10. Limitations of the Hanau H2

LimitationClinical Impact
Arbitrary hinge axisError up to 0.5 mm - acceptable for dentures, not ideal for complex fixed cases
Straight condylar path (not curved)The actual condylar path is curved (Bennett curves); the straight ramp introduces minor inaccuracy
Fixed intercondylar distance (110 mm average)Patients with wide or narrow cranial base introduce error
Cannot reproduce ISS preciselyImmediate side shift is only approximately simulated
No curved protrusive pathPath simulated as linear, not the true arc
No envelope of motion beyond set pointsCannot replicate all of Posselt's envelope

12. Clinical Significance Summary

  • The Hanau articulator replicates the five mechanical factors (Quint) that govern occlusal balance.
  • It translates biological jaw movements (condylar guidance, Bennett movement, hinge rotation) into mechanical analogs (condylar housing, lateral walls, hinge axis).
  • Proper programming with accurate interocclusal records ensures that restorations fabricated on the articulator will fit and function harmoniously when placed in the patient.
  • The gnathic system - the TMJ, muscles, and teeth - operates through a precisely coordinated neuromuscular program; the articulator approximates only the skeletal/mechanical determinants of this system, not the neuromuscular component.

Key takeaway: The Hanau articulator is a mechanical analog of the stomatognathic system. Its five adjustable parameters (condylar guidance, incisal guidance, occlusal plane, compensating curve, and cusp height) correspond directly to the five factors Hanau identified as governing balanced occlusion. Understanding the biomechanics of each - particularly condylar translation, Bennett movement, and the hinge-to-translation transition - is fundamental to successful prosthodontic rehabilitation.
