Abstrakt: Interchangeability of a semiadjustable articulator could be of significant convenience and economic benefit to the restorative dentist. The manufacturer of the Whip-Mix Model 2240 articulator claims such interchangeability. This study evaluated the accuracy of the cross-mounting capability of eight such articulators, then compared the measured results with those obtained from eight semiadjustable instruments for which the manufacturer makes no such promise of interchangeability. It was determined that the Model 2240 articulator did possess accuracy when a measuring device was transferred between the eight materials tested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
