Articulators - there are two types. . . ARCON an instrument that maintains a constant relationship between the plane of occlusion and the representation of the condular assembly or arcon guides at any position of the upper member, thus making possible the replication of mandibular movement. - can either be semi-adjustable or fully adjustable.
Tuesday, July 16, 13
Articulators - there are two types. . . NON ARCON an instrument with equivalent condylar guides on the lower member and a hinge axis on the upper member. - can be a simple hinged or average valve articulator.
