harm to the product and/or patient.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The articulator is an instrument used to simulate the maxillo-mandibular relation and
movements of a patient in a laboratory, with the purpose of studying the occlusion and
production of dental devices that will be used by the patient. These devices include
complete dentures, partial dentures, bridges, crowns and bite plate, among others.
This Manual contains only basic and simplified information regarding the use of the
equipment, which do not replace the need of a specific course of Occlusion and/or
Prosthesis, offered in many Teaching Institutions and Dental Faculties, as a compulsory
discipline.
The articulator use is restricted to qualified professionals.
It is important to emphasize, however, that the R-010098 articulator provides a simple,
fast and highly precise way of reproducing the human mandible movements, enabling
the dental professional to carry out corrective and restorative dentistry tasks more easily,
rapidly and at lower costs than those of traditional, time-consuming techniques involving
expensive and highly complex equipment. Furthermore, the semi-adjustable articulator
produces far more accurate results than those produced by "simple hinge" articulators,
which involve arbitrary mounting of the mandibular cast on the device and whose
movements are also limited.
The use of the semi-adjustable articulator is therefore recommended for most prosthetic,
occlusal and rehabilitation work. The technique is simple, fast and easy, offering highly
satisfactory results for both the patient and professional.
