Clinical considerations and rationale for the use of simplified instrumentation in occlusal rehabilitation. Part 2: setting of the articulator and occlusal optimization.

In fabricating a prosthetic rehabilitation, whether it consists of just a single crown or a complete-mouth reconstruction, one of the main aims of the clinician is to simplify the procedures and reduce the time necessary to integrate it into the mouth of the patient This article completes the description of the rationale behind the selection of semiadjustable articulators and of a way to transfer to the laboratory technician valuable information that, in the case of extensive rehabilitations, will make occlusal optimization more error free.
