The Bennett angle. Clinical comparison of different recording methods.
The use of interocclusal records with semi-adjustable articulators has been proposed as an easier alternative to axiograph. The operator measured the Bennett angle of 30 participants using an axiograph Quick-Axis, an arcon Whip-Mix and non-arcon Dentatus articulators. Wax and polyether interocclusal recording materials were used with both types of articulators. Compared to the reference axiograph, the Whip-Mix plus wax combination was the nearest one and the Dentatus plus polyether was the most significantly different combination.
