Abstract
In the practice of dentistry, attempts are made to duplicate movements of the mandible by use of a dental articulator. Much emphasis has been placed on the concept of a hinge axis (transverse axis) and a great deal of stress is placed on the importance of accurately locating it. This study is designed to develop a method for calculation of the variations of mandibular movements which may exist between patients and dental articulators. Analysis of errors caused by existing recording methods and limitations of the articulators would aid in the evaluation of controversial issues found in dental literature. Such issues include: the need for accurate recordings of the rotational axes or centers, the effect of deviations between articulator and patient, and the functional significance of several common recording errors.
