title: Centric relation and programming semiadjustable articulators with the universal jig. Part II: Experiments.
abstract: The "universal jig" described in a previous article was tested on 10 patients to check for reliability. The recording of centric relation by this method was compared with Lucia's method of recording centric relation. The results of three series of three recordings were analyzed. The influence of the universal jig on rear-determinant movement was measured by two pantographic recordings, one enabling occlusion to take place, the other using the universal jig. The results were analyzed and demonstrated that the universal jig is a reliable means of simplifying the setting up of models and the programming of semiadjustable articulators.
