Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mechanical Side of Anatomical Articulation When artificial dentures are anatomically articulated neither denture will be dislodged during the act of crushing food. This is probably true in the fullest sense only when full upper and lower plates are made together. But it is true in a larger sense than is usually taken advantage of when partial plates are made, or either plate is made to articulate with opposing natural teeth. The principles of anatomical articulation may be applied to bridgework, and the stress to which an extensive bridge is subjected may be so distributed and equalized as to greatly lessen the strain on the abutments. These desirable ends may be attained by following certain mechanical steps. The worker need not be a theorist to attain them. It is the purpose to here make the principles of anatomical articulation and their mechanical application so plain that any ambitious dentist can apply them. The illustrations are from practical cases. The distinction between occlusion, or the simple meeting of the morsal surfaces of the teeth of the upper and lower sets (something which may be secured with almost any arrangement of the teeth of one set, those of the other being fitted to them), and articulation, in which contact of the teeth of the two sets will occur at a number of widely distributed points when the mandible is moved laterally, as in mastication, has not received the attention that it should have done. - Snow. No one should minimize the necessity of theoretical investigations, or the credit due the investigators. Only the labors of a long line of workers, among whom Bonwill was a leader, and of whom Drs. Prothero, Snow, Turner, Cross, Oritman and others, yet remain among us, have made this work possible. And the writer gladly acknowledges that these papers are built almost wholly on the foundation these men have laid. Originality is here claimed only as to the method of presentation and a few mechanical methods. In this connection many valuable Buggestiona have been received from Dr. E. 8. Ulsaver.
