The articulator: a diagnostic instrument.
The success of dental restorations depends on how we view the existing occlusion. Clinicians may be confounded with what aspects of the occlusion will contribute to the success of a restoration. This information can be reviewed with the dental laboratory when it is stored in a dental articulator in the form of dental casts with simulated movements.
