    Experienced and inexperienced dentists showed similar accuracy in following dental articulator settings. Both groups struggled with specific parameters, indicating a need for further research into clinical relevance.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Mechanics
    • Prosthodontics
    • Occlusion

    Background:

    • Accurate programming of dental articulators is crucial for prosthetic dentistry.
    • Understanding dentist proficiency with articulator settings is essential for effective treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the ability of experienced and inexperienced dentists to replicate known graphic tracings on dental articulators.
    • To identify specific articulator parameters where accuracy differs between skill levels.

    Main Methods:

    • Dentists of varying experience levels were tasked with following predefined graphic tracings.
    • Measurements of condylar inclination, progressive side shift, immediate side shift, top wall, and rear wall settings were analyzed.
    • Mean differences between achieved and known values were calculated for each parameter.

    Main Results:

    • Both experienced and inexperienced dentists demonstrated low mean differences for condylar inclination, progressive side shift, and immediate side shift.
    • High error rates were observed in both groups when evaluating the top wall and rear wall parameters.
    • No significant difference in performance was noted between the two experience groups for the evaluated parameters.

    Conclusions:

    • Dentist experience level did not significantly impact the ability to follow graphic tracings for most articulator settings.
    • Accuracy issues persist for specific parameters (top wall, rear wall) regardless of dentist experience.
    • Further investigation is required to ascertain the clinical implications of these inaccuracies in dental articulator programming.
