Limitations of semiadjustable articulators. Part I: Straight line articulators without setting for immediate side shift.
The accuracy of two semiadjustable articulators was compared with a fully adjustable articulator. Positive errors in the frontal and horizontal planes were demonstrated at the level of the first molar. Increasing ISS produced more error whereas errors in the sagittal plane were minimal and negative.
