A new fully adjustable articulator system and procedure.
This article presents a simple and efficient articulator to help with the registration of maxillomandibular relationships, mounting casts, and subsequent perfection of the occlusal scheme for various types of prosthodontic restorations. The system (Individual Anatomo-Physiological system), which is composed of the articulator and recommended procedures, allows for registration of positions and trajectories of the mandible at the level of the patient's occlusal plane. It is used to accurately transfer the records to the articulator. A luminous signal shows the correct centric occlusal relationship and vertical dimension, in both clinical and laboratory procedures. Interocclusal records are used for semiadjustment of the articulator for provisional restorations and stereographic records are used for full adjustment of the articulator for definitive treatment.
