DENTAL ARTICULATORS

Dental articulators are mechanical devices used to simulate the relationship and movements of the upper and lower jaws, helping dentists and technicians fabricate accurate prostheses such as crowns, bridges, and dentures. Articulators vary in complexity, ranging from simple hinge types to semi-adjustable and fully adjustable systems, with advanced types offering more precise replication of patient-specific jaw movements. Their use minimizes chairside adjustments, enhances prosthetic accuracy, and supports better treatment planning, making them essential tools in restorative and prosthodontic dentistry.
