Abstract
Articulator is a mechanical device which represents the temporomandibular joint and jaw member to which maxillary and mandibular casts may be attached to simulate some or all of the mandibular movements‖. Rudolph L. Hanau, an engineer during the time of First World War in 1921 developed‘ a research model called the‘ Hanau - Model C Articulator‘ which had provision for controlled movement with more accurate and accessible controls, and its adjustments and operation simplified. Later in 1923, he devised the ‗Kinoscope‘, which provided exact measurement of mandibular movements. In the later years, Hanau introduced more instruments such as Model 110, which had individual condylar guidance adjustments in both sagittal and horizontal planes, and the lateral condylar angle calculated by the formula L = H/8 +12, where H = Horizontal condylar angle. In 1927, he modified the model 110 with the introduction of Incisal guide table.
