Organised by: Cranfield UniversityThis paper presents a research project aiming at designing a Virtual Articulator in order to simulate and
analyze mandibular movements of the human jaw. Its main goal is to improve the design of dental
prostheses, adding kinematic analysis to the design process. First, plaster models are scanned. Second, the
type of articulator is selected. Third, the prosthesis is statically modelled. Fourth, excursive movements are
simulated using a CAD system, analyzing occlusal collisions to adequate/modify the design. Finally, the
current shortcomings of virtual articulator simulation are discussed in detail and a research prospect is
advanced.Mori Seiki – The Machine Tool Compan
