Dental Articulator – Hanau Wide Vue

Abstract

INTRODUCTION
Articulator is a mechanical device that represents the temporomandibular joints and the jaw members to which maxillary and mandibular casts may be attached to simulate some or all the mandibular movements. Articulators are instruments which attempt to reproduce the range of movement of the jaws. Maxillary and mandibular casts are attached to the articulators so as to functional and parafunctional contact relation between the teeth can be studied. It has often been said “patient’s mouth is the best articulator”. The primary function of articulator is to act as a patient. The success of fixed or removable restoration directly depends on the articulator selected as well as the skill and care with which it is handled.
