Abstract:
An occlusal scribing device attached to a fully adjustable articulator was used to generate occlusal tracings. The tracings were analyzed to determine the effect changes in immediate side shift, intercondylar distance, and rear and top wall settings had on molar occlusal morphology. When ranked from greatest to least effect, a 0.2 mm change in the immediate side shift setting had the greatest effect on the occlusion, whereas a 5-degree change in the rear and top wall settings had the least effect.
