With the right index finger, push the foot
of the incisal pin back until it just contacts
the inclined platform of the incisal
table, and tighten the incisal pin foot
lockscrew in that position (fig. 67). By
allowing the incisal pin to come forward
into the centric related position again,
a space will be noticeable between the
foot of the pin and the incisal table – this
space is equal to the horizontal overlap
of the anterior teeth. (fig. 68).
Protrusive Adjustment
To adjust the incisal table for the inclination
of the lingual bearing surfaces of
the anterior teeth, first loosen the incisal
platform and set it back to zero. Do not
tighten the lockscrew. Then, move the
upper bow posteriorly until the incisal
edges of the lower anterior teeth contact
the lingual surface of the upper anterior
teeth just lingual to their incisal edges.
Note that the incisal pin does not touch
the incisal table now (fig. 69). Increase
the angle of the table until it touches the
foot and lock the table in that position
(fig. 70).
Lateral Wing Adjustment
The lateral wings of the incisal table are
adjusted to complement the lateral relationships
of the anterior teeth – most
frequently the vertical and horizontal
overlap relationships of the cuspid
teeth. To make this adjustment, first
remove the incisal table and loosen the
lateral wing lockscrews (fig. 71). Then replace
the incisal table on the articulator
to observe visually the angle to which
the lateral wings must be adjusted to
complement the anterior tooth relationships
in the following manner. Hold the
