Objective: Estimating if the articulator accords with the oral occlusion. Method: Compare the models on the articulator with the oral occlusion of 10 testees whose occlusion systems are normal to estimate the accordance of articulator and the oral cavity.Results: In the course of simulating the movement of mandibular in all the directions, the contact points on the models are collectively the same in amount and location as in the oral cavity, and the accordant rate arrives at 69% above.Conclusion: To simulate the movement of mandibular thearticulator has very good effect, and articulator can be widely used in occlusion adjusting, making artificial teeth, and other fields as a guidance in diagnosis and treatment.
