[The use of the Dentatus articulator in complete denture prosthetics].
The adjustable articulators and the bilaterally balanced occlusal scheme is not commonly used in Hungary, even if it is the mainly used type of occlusion in the world. The authors provide a short historical background about occlusal types then show how to use the Dentatus semi-adjustable articulator in the practice of the complete denture prosthetics: how to use the Dentatus ear-bow, and how to adjust individual values on the articulator. With the help of this procedures a bilaterally balanced occlusal scheme is designed, so the authors show the characteristics of this occlusal type. The aim of the authors is to present a view of "how to organize" occlusion for complete dentures.
