[QUOTE="Sda36, post: 336257, member: 17701"] Everyone of those chrome type articulators has a given flaw in arc of closure and lateral deviation. Not to mention no relationship at all to the human structure of the tempro mandibular structure and related movements - none are even close. Did you ever wonder why there were finer instruments, face bows, pantographs?? I really don't want to cloud up and rain all over you but seriously look into tools that perform more like humans, in all planes. As I once stated here," The mandible is a 3 dimensional object moving through space and time" Dr. Di Pietro. A Massive amount of work went into That was an chapter in " Full Mouth Rehabilitation" Volume ll Dr. Max Kornfeld Publisher. Try to understand what we face trying to imitate close to actual human madibular functions. The Maxillary is fixed, planes are fixed to that postion, facebow. Next comes the moving factor, the madibular movements. How much available setting do you have? What is a predictable range if motion? A lot of these modifiable settings are available on semi adjustable articulators. Research and purchase. Can't give any weight to much less and believe me I've used and discarded plain hinge articulators. Use only for simple repairs where No records are included. Sorry for the rant, had a tough day.
