General type and Marathon 103 surveyors for determining path of insertion and undercuts.
Everything Catalogued in Dental Surveyors
What This Category Fixes at the Bench
A partial denture framework designed without survey is a framework designed by guess. The survey establishes one path of insertion, and every clasp and rest on the case has to agree with it.
Problems it removes
- Undercuts judged by eye give clasps that are either loose or impossible to seat.
- Without a fixed vertical reference, block-out thickness is inconsistent.
- Framework designs drawn on an unsurveyed model fail at try-in, not at the bench.
Who buys it
- Removable partial denture departments
- Laboratories designing clasp assemblies
- Teaching benches and training labs
Where This Range Is Strong
- General type surveyors for routine survey and block-out work.
- A Marathon 103 surveyor version for labs standardising on that family.
- Simple mechanical instruments with few parts to go out of adjustment.

Dental Surveyors: Buyer Questions
What comes with a surveyor?
Configurations vary by model. Tell us whether you need the analysing rod, carbon marker and undercut gauges included and we will confirm exactly what is in the box before you order.
Do I need a surveyor if I design digitally?
Digital design tools survey the scan. A mechanical surveyor is still used where models are poured and worked by hand, which is most partial denture work outside fully digital workflows.
Is the instrument heavy enough to stay put?
Surveyors are built around a weighted base for exactly that reason. Base weight is the difference between a usable instrument and one that walks across the bench.
