3. •DEFINITION of ARTICULATOR:-
A mechanical instrument that
represents temporomandibular joints
and jaws, to which mandibular and
maxillary casts may be attached to
stimulate some or all movements.

5. • INT. PROSTHODONTIC WORKSHOP AT
UNIV. OF MICHIGAN-1972:
• 1. Class I
• Simple holding instruments capable of accepting
single static registration.
• Only vertical motion is acceptable.
• e.g. J.B.Gariots, Barn-Door hinge.

8. • 2. Class II-
• Instruments that permit horizontal as
well as vertical motion but do not
orient the motion to T.M.J via face
bow transfer.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
10. • Class II A-
• Instruments in this class permit
eccentric motion based on averages
and will not accept facebow transfer.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. • Instruments in this class permit
eccentric motion based on arbitrary
theories of motion and will not
accept facebow transfer.
Class II B-
www.indiandentalacademy.com
14. • Instruments in this class permit
eccentric motion based on
engraved records obtained from the
patient and will not accept facebow
transfer.
Class II C-

16. Class III-
•Class III A- Instruments in this class
accept a facebow transfer and protrusive
interocclusal record.
•e.g. Hanau, Dentatus.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
19. Class III- B
•Instruments in this class accept a
facebow transfer protrusive interocclusal
records and some lateral interocclusal
records.
• e.g. Gysi’s Trubyte, Hanau Kinoscope.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
22. Class IV- A
•Instruments in this class will accept
three dimensional dynamic registrations
and utilize a facebow transfer. The
condylar pathways engraved by the
patient.
•e.g. T.M.J articulator.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
24. Class IV-B
•Instruments in this class will accept
three dimensional dynamic registrations
and utilize a facebow transfer. The
condylar pathways can be selectively
angled and customized.
• e.g. Denar.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
30. • To hold opposing casts in a predetermined
fixed relationship.
• To diagnose dental occlusal conditions in
both natural and artificial dentitions.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
31. • To plan dental procedures that involve
positions; contours; & relationship of both
natural and artificial tooth as they relate to
each other.
To aid in the fabrication of dental
restoration and lost dental parts.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
32. • Articulators can be helpful in teaching and
studying occlusion and mandibular
movements.
• To view the lingual occlusion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
34. • REQUIREMENTS.
• Articulators must accurately maintain centric
position.
The patient’s casts must be easily removable and
attachable to the articulator without loosing the
horizontal and vertical relationship.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
35. • The articulator should be able to open
and close in a hinge like fashion. The
articulator should accept a facebow
transfer.
• The articulator should have an incisal
guide pin with positive stop that is
adjustable and calibrated.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
36. • For the complete denture construction
in balanced occlusion.
• Condylar guides should allow right
lateral, left lateral and protrusive
movements

38. DEFINITION OF
FACEBOW:-
•A caliper like device used to record the
relationship of maxillary arch to some
anatomical reference point or points and
then transfer the relationship to an
articulator.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
40. USES OF FACE-BOW
•1. It permits a more accurate use of lateral
rotation points for the arrangement of teeth.
•2. It aids in securing the anteroposterior
cast position with relation to the condyles of
the mandible.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
41. • 3. It registers the horizontal relationship
of the casts quite accurately, and thus
assists in correctly location the incisal
plane.
• 4. It is an aid in the vertical positioning of
the casts on the articulator

42. 1. Arbitrary facebow:-1. Arbitrary facebow:-
Fascia facebow - EarpieceFascia facebow - Earpiece

- With nasal relator- With nasal relator
2. Kinematic facebow2. Kinematic facebow

44. 1. Cusp form teeth are used.
2. Balanced occlusion in eccentric position is
desired.
3. A definite cusp fossa or cusp tip to cusp
inclination is desired.
4. Interocclusal check records are used for
verification of jaw positions.www.indiandentalacademy.com
45. 5. The occlusal vertical dimension is subject
to change, and the relations of the tooth
occlusal surfaces are necessary to
accommodate the change.
6. When there is significant error in
antroposterior, lateral, vertical relations
www.indiandentalacademy.com
46. • To determine the position of the real condyle
axis of motion.
• Accurate mounting of casts in the articulator,
both in relation to the position of the condyles
and to certain points on the head.
