Analysis of the interchangeability of a dental articulator.

Department of Removable Prosthodontics, Virginia Commonwealth University/Medical College of Virginia, School of Dentistry, Richmond.

A series of Dentatus ARL articulators and gauge blocks were tested for the reliability of the system to reproduce articulator mountings. Points of occlusal contact were measured at several locations on a set of casts. Analysis of the data indicated that the location of the occlusal contacts and the gauge block used were critically related to the results. Further studies to quantify the measurement error and to carefully explore where this system could be used are needed.
