Adjustable dental articulators are necessary in a dental lab to fabricate prosthodontic and orthodontic restorations and appliances. One important aspect when purchasing an adjustable dental articulator is to make sure it is split-cast compatible. Some adjustable dental articulators are better for simple, uncomplicated restorations, while others are targeted toward more complex and demanding dental restorations. For these complex restorations, some adjustable dental articulators enable the technician to individually set the joint angles to exactly match patient measurements to get the perfect fit. Some adjustable dental articulators boast magnetic mounting plate attachment, precise calibration derived from patient x-rays and accurate transfer of casts from one articulator to another. Be sure to choose an adjustable dental articulator that fits best with your dental laboratory.
