Abstract

Setting the condylar inclination of a dental articulator enables the delivery of prostheses without occlusal interferences. This technique article describes obtaining the sagittal condylar inclination (SCI) by using a facial and an intraoral scan of the protrusive interocclusal position. The SCI can be used on a virtual articulator in dental computer-aided design (CAD) software programs, which can facilitate the fabrication of functional prostheses without occlusal interferences.
