I want to take a second to make a rant or two about articulators. I have always hated, yes hated, plastic disposable articulators. I never really knew why they bothered me, until I attended a lecture the other day. Damon Adams, who is working very closely with my current boss, refered to the as hold-it-together devices, that they in no way simulate the jaw. Ding, ding, ding, ding… That’s it! Europa! This is exactly what has been nibbling at the back of my mind for years. It is exactly how I wanted to articulate 🙂 my thoughts (man alive, you know I couldn’t let that opportunity pass me by!!!!). I love and would ask anyone out there to use a fully adjustable articulator. They are essential, always. Yes I feel this way about a single molar, it doesn’t ever happen, but I feel this way.

I agree with you. An articulator should always be used, even for single teeth, but we know it’s not gonna happen. It takes way too much time for us to to use or train our assistants to use. Time = Money = not gonna happen. The hold-it-together-device is gonna have to do it for now.
