Dental Articulator – Hanau Wide Vue

The articulator plays an important role in Dentistry, since it allows adequate diagnosis and treatment planning to promote the oral health of our patients. The Semi adjustable, Fully adjustable articulator reduces the intervention of Prosthodontists; when well employed, it simplifies the daily clinical routine, reducing the number of sessions, chair time and need of interventions in the patient’s mouth, besides allowing more accurate procedures, consequently without damages to the stomatognathic system.Dental articulators are instruments that reproduce jaw movements to varying degrees of accuracy. This article aims to give an overview of Hanau wide vue and describe their applications and limitations.
