Determining the accuracy of articulator interchangeability

Kitzis Gd, Philip L. Millstein, Dan Nathanson · Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry · 1991

Twelve articulators (Denar D5-A and Mark II) were calibrated using the Denar Field Inspection Gage device. Silicone interocclusal records and the split cast method were used to test the positional accuracy of mounted casts transferred from one articulator to another. The interchangeability was performed by three independent observers. The results indicate that calibrated articulators can be used to transfer casts between articulators without a loss of positional accuracy.
