Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An articulator is a device that simulates the movement of the jaw and holds maxillary and mandibular models in an occlusal relationship. It is used to aid in the creation of dental restorations, such as crowns and bridges, that fit accurately and function properly within the patient's mouth. A face bow is a component of an articulator that records the position of the patient's maxillary arch within their skull. An occlusal register and a bite block are both terms used to describe tools used to record the patient's occlusal relationship, but they do not hold the models in a fixed relationship for restorative purposes.
