What the AI looks for in Dental Articulators
- Instrument type
- Simple hinge articulators for single units, average-value or semi-adjustable for most fixed and removable work, fully adjustable only for complex rehab Too little adjustability misses excursive interferences. Too much adds cost and setup time.
- Arcon design
- Prefer arcon (condyles on the lower member) for restorative work The condylar guidance angle stays fixed relative to the maxilla, as it does anatomically.
- Facebow and mounting compatibility
- Must accept the facebow you use and calibrated, interchangeable mounting plates Calibration lets cases move between instruments and between the clinic and the lab without remounting.
Brands that matter
- Whip Mix: Denar and Whip Mix articulators and facebows.
- KaVo: PROTAR articulator system.
- SAM: SAM articulator series.
- Ivoclar: Stratos articulators.
What to avoid
- Non-calibrated articulators when cases are shared with a lab
- Plastic hinge articulators for anything beyond single units
