rates a curved path compensated Bennett guide “c” (Figure
13), meaning the articulator moves more like the patient’s
jaw movements which may reduce positive errors for less
adjustments in lateral chewing movements and still allow for
good anatomy. 9,10

SUMMARY
A.Using the Kois DFA or doing a Standard Functional
Mounting to relate the teeth to an average anatomical axis
may reduce positive errors for less adjustments in opening
and closing movements of the Axis.
B. Taking an interocclusal record at the Vertical Dimension of
Occlusion you want to be restoring to may reduce positive
errors for less adjustments of the Bite.
C. It is recommended to set the articulator with a 1.5mm
o
Bennett (Figure 13) movement and a 25 protrusive
pathway to produce negative errors for less adjustments
of incising and lateral movements of chewing.
