Is it necessary for my dentist to own a facebow before I can begin using an articulator?
In the ideal situation, your dentist clients will provide you with as many patient-specific parameters as possible so each restoration is as customized as it can be. For example, occlusal relationships can be created and tested in a more lifelike situation when opposing-models are mounted in an articulator with the patient’s maxillary registration as a guideline. However, if your dentists are not yet providing facebow registrations, you needn’t wait to begin enjoying some benefits of precision articulators. For example, variables caused by moving cases from one bench station to the next are reduced, even when cases are simply mounted in average value, when cases are transferred between articulators that are calibrated to each other.
