It explains the principles of jaw relations, hinge axis, condylar guidance, Bennett movement, and incisal guidance. Emphasis is given to facebow transfer and its role in correctly relating the maxillary cast to the hinge axis of the articulator.Clinical significance, advantages, limitations, and selection criteria of articulators are also covered. Overall, the book highlights how proper use of dental articulators improves occlusal harmony, function, esthetics, and longevity of dental prostheses.
