This session describes some basic aspects of articulators and facebows.

Learning objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • identify the range of articulators and facebows available to the clinician
  • describe some of their properties
  • list their advantages and disadvantages

It is essential that the clinician is aware of the patient’s occlusal needs and also to inform the dental technician of the need to select articulators appropriately. For example, for a simple wax up, a simple articulator will suffice but in complex occlusal rehabilitation, a more sophisticated articulator will be required. Both the clinician and the technician must be proficient in their usage.
