Gnathology has made great contributions to the diagnosis and treatment of occlusion. Prevention of cuspal interferences is possible by proper use of the articulator, thus confirming the validity of gnathological principles and techniques. The practice of gnathology has been criticized since the need to deal with the fully-adjustable articulator for recording mandibular movement is time consuming and the use of the instrumentation requires special training.
Since the Cyberhoby computer system was developed in 1983, the use of the pantograph and fully-adjustable articulator instrumentation has become much simpler and less time consuming.
This report has two purposes. First, the time saving instrumentation for this system will be shown. Secondly, the accuracy of the occlusal surface of the wax pattern fabrication for the posterior teeth are compared for the non adjustable, semi-adjustable and fully-adjustable articulators.
