Oral reconstruction: an instrument to establish vertical and physiologic occlusion.
The Coble Balancer can be used to locate the most comfortable vertical dimension before fixed restorative procedures are begun. It can be used to locate and record centric relation at this vertical dimension, and can transfer the relationship to a simple or complex articulator. After restorations are fabricated, the balancer facilitates adjustment of the restorations to conform to the patient's jaw movement.
