Articulators are mechanical devices that simulate the movements of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). For the fabrication of full dentures and complex full-arch restorations, a robust and accurate Hinge Articulator is an indispensable laboratory instrument, ensuring the prosthetic teeth are set in correct occlusal harmony.
These premium articulators typically feature a simple hinge movement, replicating the basic opening and closing action of the jaw. While not as complex as adjustable articulators, they are perfectly suited for edentulous cases where precise records of jaw relationships (via a facebow transfer) are used to mount the master casts. They maintain the critical centric relation position and the vertical dimension of occlusion established clinically by the dentist.
Constructed from high-strength metals with precision-machined hinges, these instruments provide unwavering stability during the time-consuming tooth setup process. They hold the upper and lower casts in their exact spatial relationship, allowing the technician to develop a balanced and functional occlusion that will be comfortable for the patient.
Available for OEM supply, these articulators represent premium quality at a competitive price. They are a core instrument in prosthetic laboratories, providing the reliable mechanical foundation needed to produce well-fitting and functional complete dentures that restore both form and function for the patient.
