Abstract :

The up folding of dentistry is linked strongly to the use of computer technology. Virtual reality technologies have a robust impact on research, development and industrial production. Virtual reality is the simulation of real and fancied environment that can be experienced visually in 3–dimension of width, height and depth. In addition it provides associate interactive expertise with sound, motion, tactile and and other forms of feedback. In dentistry, the use of computer aided design (CAD) systems and Reverse engineering tools permits the introduction of kinematic analysis in virtual design processes. One such recent innovations in virtual field is related to the development of a stimulant to mechanical articulator called virtual articulator. With the advent of digitalization, prosthetic dentistry has become easier, meticulous and time saving. This article reviews aspects of virtual articulators regarding their need, advantages, usage and limitations in the field of prosthetic dentistry
