Abstract:
Transferring condylar and anterior guidance on an articulator is essential to the diagnosis of a patient for full mouth reconstruction. In this clinical report, ARCUS digma I system was used to measure inherent condylar guidance of a patient requiring full mouth reconstruction in preoperate treatment, and the patients was given provisional restoration based on a functional anterior guidance. Then, ARCUS digma II system was used to mount the final casting model on an articulator, and the definitive prosthesis was placed in the patient. An esthetic and functionally proper clinical result regarding inherent condylar path of the patient was observed, and results from comparison of the two systems are given in this case.
