This document discusses various types of articulators used in prosthodontics including simple hinge, average value, semi-adjustable, and fully adjustable articulators. It describes the key anatomical landmarks and measurements needed to set up articulators including maximal protrusion, intercuspal position, retruded contact position, hinge axis, and maximum opening. The document also discusses the uses of articulators in diagnosis, treatment planning, and fabrication of dental splints and prostheses. Finally, it notes that the choice of articulator depends on factors like intended use, technician skill, equipment availability, patient occlusion, and how closely the articulator can match the patient's jaw anatomy.
