The field of dentistry, in particular prosthodontics has seen tremendous and much sophisticated advances. The advent of intra–oral scanners, CAD/CAM and reverse engineering technologies have even further improved the quality and precision of treatment procedures. Virtual articulators are one such tools that enables dentist to overcome the limitations and drawbacks of a traditional mechanical articulator. By input of real patient data it allows the analyses of static and dynamic occlusion.
