Course Aim:

Attending this course will help delegates...:
  • Comprehend how the articulator replicates mandibular movements
  • Realize how the articulator reproduces tooth to tooth relationships
  • Appreciate the limitations of each type of articulator
  • Describe the errors we could introduce with each articulator type
  • Consider how condylar position impacts upon tooth interference contacts
  • Realize how reducing the condylar inclination produces negative errors
  • Understand why reducing the progressive/ immediate side shift introduces negative errors
  • Discuss how articulator programming influences cusp: efficiency, aesthetics and stability
  • Introduce the concept of the ‘terminal hinge axis’ (THA)
  • Establish how the face bow transfers the THA/ maxilla -relationship to the articulator
  • Evaluate the types of face bow available and categorize their accuracy

  • Programme the articulator using the ‘check bites’
