The Teledyne Articulator System 154 as applied to complete denture construction.

A practical articulator, the Teledyne System 154, has been described. It acceptably simulates mandibular movement. Also, it can be used within the economic limitations of an average dental practice. Mechanical limitations of this articulator do exist and must be kept in mind when using this articulator. A fully adjustable articulator satisfies all components of occlusion. However, the registration of the condylar path and the adjustment of such an articulator are complicated, and most dentists do not believe that such complicated articulators are necessary. The choice of articulators depends upon the precision with which the dentist wishes to work and his preference in the handling quality of the instrument.
