Abstract
- Customized cast orientations and parameter settings of the virtual articulator according to the patient's condyles are indispensable parts of today's digital workflows in prosthodontics. This article describes a digital technique to align the intraoral scans to a virtual articulator by using a facial scanner to locate the patient's cutaneous landmarks of the arbitrary hinge axis and the reference plane, and to customize the sagittal condylar inclination of the virtual articulator through a digital protrusive interocclusal record and a dental computerāaided design software program. It enables individual cast orientations and virtual articulator parameter settings without conventional facebow transferring and bite registration procedures and can be easily integrated with most virtual articulator systems on the market to allow clinicians and technicians to work in a complete digital workflow and facilitate customized treatment planning and dental prosthesis fabrication.
