Complete dentures using the TMJ articulator

A method of recording mandibular movements in a stereographic recording and a method of registering these movements by molding the controls in an articulator are described. Mandibular registrations are made using impressions rather than stabilized trial denture bases. The TMJ articulator used in the technique complies with all of the requirements of an articulator for prosthodontic treatment as outlined by the Academy of Denture Prosthetics.
