title: [Programming and rational use of a semi-adaptable articulator in complete dentures].
abstract: In this article a simple and rational technique is described to make a complete denture. This technique is based upon the utilization of the articulator as an instrument necessary to the realization of the final prosthesis and as an intermediary between the general practitioner and the laboratory technician. As the physiology rules the determinants of the occlusion, the mandibular kinetics determines the orientation of posterior teeth. This way, step by step, the physiological recording of the condylar pathway, of the anterior guidance and of the level of the plane of occlusion will enable the laboratory to realize a set-up of the prosthetic teeth to conform with the esthetic criterias.
