| contents | <p>This manuscript presents a geometric decoding of anatomical incisal table behavior in fixed-condyle articulators. Using a reference instrument with a fully expressed anatomical incisal table, the study demonstrates that guidance behavior is not fixed but position-sensitive, governed exclusively by incisal table geometry rather than by condylar adjustability.</p> <p>Bench-level analysis identifies a continuous steepness gradient across the anatomical table, distinguishing between a Manual Zero (visual centering reference) and a True Functional Zero (elimination of vertical vector transmission). The work shows that steep, transitional, near-neutral, and fully neutral guidance behaviors can be produced within the same fixed system solely through controlled positional modulation of the incisal pin.</p> <p>The reference instrument is used strictly as a mechanical decoder and not as the subject of evaluation. The findings are geometry-governed and applicable to fixed-condyle articulators employing anatomical incisal guidance, independent of proprietary design features.</p> <p>This work functions as a standalone mechanical study and as a foundational component of the Articulators: Mechanical Behaviour and Geometrical Understanding corpus, providing a reproducible framework for interpreting articulators as constraint-driven systems rather than as parameter-based devices.</p> |
