title: Evaluation of a digitizer and computer system designed to analyze articulator-generated occlusal tracings.
abstract: Occlusal tracings generated on a Denar fully adjustable articulator were photographed, projected, digitized, and stored in a computer data file. These steps were accomplished with sufficient accuracy for clinical analysis. This study demonstrated that appropriately referenced tracing data can be transferred accurately into a machine-readable form. Studies of pantographic tracings for mandibular movements are facilitated by this convenient and accurate method of handling data.
