Abstract
An adjustable transfer jig assembly interconnecting a face bow and a bitefork is positionally fixed after locating the bitefork relative to the face bow. Clamp blocks of plastic interconnecting plastic rods forming the jig assembly include slots for receiving and wicking about the encircled rods a fast setting adhesive to lockingly position the rods linearly and angularly with respect to one another and fix the transfer jig assembly. Subsequent detachment of the face bow will permit mounting of the bitefork upon an articulator in a predetermined relationship by attaching the transfer jig assembly to an articulator mounted index block.
