The ever-expanding world of digital technology has produced many changes, including the availability of virtual articulators. The use of such digital technology requires an understanding of the features that have been available with different mechanical articulators. These features include such items as facebow, intercondylar distance, incisal guide table, condylar inclination, reference plane, lateral condylar inclination, immediate mandibular translation, and ability to verify a centric relation record. This paper reviews the adjustable features that have been available with different types of mechanical articulators so that clinicians can determine if these features should be included in the virtual articulators they choose to use. Regardless of whether one is utilizing a mechanical or virtual articulator, the rationale for which type of articulator to select is the same and is predicated on the needs of the patient, the occlusal philosophy of the clinician, and the required accuracy.
不断扩展的数字技术世界带来了许多变化，包括虚拟𬌗架的出现。使用这种数字技术需要了解不同机械𬌗架所具有的特点。这些特点包括头帽、髁道间距、切导盘、髁导斜度、基准平面、侧髁导斜度、即刻下颌平移以及验证正中关系记录的能力。本文回顾了不同类型机械𬌗架所具有的可调节特点，以便临床医生能够确定他们选择使用的虚拟𬌗架是否应包含这些特点。无论临床医生选择使用机械𬌗架还是虚拟𬌗架，选择哪种类型𬌗架的基本原理都是相同的，这取决于患者的需求、临床医生的咬合理念以及所需的准确性。
