Abstract
Virtual reality is computer based technology that allows us to navigate and view a world of three dimensions in real life. In dentistry, the use of computer aided design (CAD) systems and reverse engineering tools permit the introduction of kinematic analysis in virtual design process. The change in the trends from numerous mechanical articulator designs to recently developed virtual articulator is an advance in the development of articulator design. Virtual articulator is one such application in prosthetic and restorative dentistry based on virtual reality that will significantly reduce the limitation of the mechanical articulator, and by simulation of real patients data, allow analysis with regard to static and dynamic occlusion as well as jaw motion. This paper is attempted to highlight the procedure and benefits of using a virtual articulator over the traditional one. Keywords: Virtual Articulator, Engineering, Prosthodontics, Stomatognathic
