Importance of the semi-adjustable articulator in rehabilitation

DENTAL ARTICULATORS, ORAL REHABILITATIONAbstract
A study on the importance of the semiadjustable articulator in the prosthetic rehabilitation was conducted. Dental oclussion was defined as the relation established between the tooth arches when they get in contact and the lower arch remains inmobile in relation to the upper. Due to the fact that in the prosthetic rehabilitation it is fundamental to try to respect the functional integrity of the patient, we propose ourselves as an objective to reestbalish the contact in the slidings during the mandibular movements once the patient is rehabilitated to his masticatory pattern. The universe consisted of 8 patients aged 18-34 that presented restorations of the first and second premolars in bad state. They were rehabilitated with extracoronal restorations by using the semiadjustable articulator. On concluding the rehabilitation, oclussal adjustments were made in only 25 % of the cases, whereas no oclussal adjustment was necessary in 75 %. This proves the accuracy of the technique used and the effectiveness of the semiadjustaable articulator for such a rehabilitation.Downloads
