A study on self centering of face bows. [PDF]
J Indian Prosthodont Soc, 2010 Hanau spring bow has been in use since 1986. Hanau spring bow is claimed to maintain self centering property when it is positioned in the patient as well as in the articulator. However there is no documented evidence to prove that feature. Mainly it was due to the absence of a testing device.
