AD2 Dental — AD2/Panadent EZ Bow System
SKU 469659 · AD2 Dental · MFG# AR560150 · Made in the USA
The AD2 laser EZ Bow captures a facebow record with a snap-on index tray instead of an earbow. It works on the same principle as the Kois DFA, but uses a laser rather than a midline rod to find the facial midline.
AD2 is the brand of Advanced Dental Designs, Inc., a US manufacturer of Articulators, facebows and Mounting hardware. Its products are built to be cross-compatible with the major articulator systems already in your lab — Panadent, Whip Mix, Denar, Hanau, SAM, KaVo, Artex, Stratos and Bio-Art — which is what lets a lab cut hardware cost without changing the way it works.
What It Fits
Designed for: AD2/Panadent
Check the plate or platform against your articulator before ordering — if you are not certain which system you are running, call 954-874-6325 with the make and we will confirm the right part. A returned plate that was never going to fit costs you a week.
How It Works
- Centre the bow on the patient’s facial midline using the laser
- Insert the bow and index tray, raise into the maxillary arch, capture the bite
- Transfer the index tray to the articulator on the matching adjustable platform
- The platform sets the incisal edge 100 mm from the centre of the hinge axis
On whether a fox-plane bow is good enough: every facebow provides an average value. A 2015 Marquette University prosthodontics study compared an earbow against a fox-plane bow of the EZ Bow / Kois DFA type and found no difference in the results produced by either. That is a third-party finding, not our claim — and it is the reason a laser fox-plane bow is a defensible choice, not a compromise.
Kois index trays from Panadent are interchangeable with AD2 index trays, so an EZ Bow drops into a Kois workflow without changing your tray stock.

This is the AD2/Panadent configuration. The adjustable platform is what makes the record land correctly on your articulator — AD2 lists the platform as an option on the base EZ Bow System, so call 954-874-6325 to confirm the AD2/Panadent platform is included in this configuration before you order. We would rather you asked than opened a box and found a platform missing.
