Articulators are designed to reproduce interocclusal relationships extra-orally. The more accurate instruments required for more complex prosthodontic procedures allow more refined adjustments of displacement characteristics of the condyles. However, accurate setting of these variables is often difficult and time-consuming. The stereographic articulator system develops a fossa moulding that incorporates three-dimensional movement details for each condyle, and thus overcomes the need for fine setting of condylar adjustments. The purpose of this study was to assess the reproducibility of this articulator system.
