Two models that come together exactly without bite registration are described as what?

• A. Fully Articulated
• B. Hand Articulated
• C. Semi-Adjusted
• D. Digital Bite Registration

Answer: (B)

Hand articulated describes bringing the upper and lower dental models together by hand, without using any bite registration, so they seat in the occlusion as if in the patient’s mouth. This relies on the accuracy of the casts and the technician’s careful manual alignment to achieve the correct relationship. It differs from mounting on an articulator with recorded bite or settings (fully articulated or semi-adjusted) and from using digital bite registrations.
