[Selective grinding in dental occlusion].

Occlusion has often to be corrected by grinding, should it be in T. M. J. pain-dysfunction cases, in periodontal cases or for the adjustment of prostheses. Indications and contra indications, clinical diagnosis, different means of marking interferences and the technique for grinding them in centric relation, protrusion and laterality are described. Emphasis is put on the necessity of completing the equilibration when it has been started because it is a general feeling that patients might become occlusion conscious and might be in danger of catching parafunctions.

[Use of the facial arch: a case for a specialist?].

Ideally, an articulator should reproduce exactly mandibular movements. Therefore, several parameters have to be registered and the first of them is the relationship between the dental arches and the hinge axis. This can be obtained with the face bow and enhances significantly the precision of the movement simulation. The use of a semi-adaptable articulator with an arbitrary hinge axis face bow allows to realise, through rather simple manipulations, nearly all prosthetic works with enough precision. Practitioners ought to use currently this equipment but it is not necessary in simple cases. Description is given of two semi-adaptable articulators offering various possibilities in their use: the CONDYLATOR and the SAM 2.
