In the fully closed position the teeth shall overlap each other by (1 0,1) mm. The outer most corners of the
47、teeth shall have a radius of (0,3 0,1) mm. The teeth shall be mounted so as to pivot about a point (50 1) mm from the rear most pair of teeth and positioned so that when closed the centre lines of the two pairs of teeth are parallel to each other. The bite tester shall be equipped with a stop to pre
