Abstract

The prosthodontists' mechanical equivalent of jaw positions and movements is the dental articulator. Orientation of dental casts in three planes and the location of axial points of rotation of the mandibular condyles, with the transfer of this hinge axis to the mechanical axis of the articulator, are aspects of highly refined technique. A procedure has been given by which a widely used articulator can be modified to make these registrations possible. The modifications were made from the standpoint of simplicity, economy, and acceptable accuracy. In addition, no irreversible changes are made in the original articulator.
