Abstract: Along with the advancement in digital technology, virtual articulator, a combination between modern computer technology and gnathology, has become a topic of great interest among researchers world wide. The use of traditional articulator is complicated and thus accurately simulatingthe movement of a three-dimensional stomatognathic system is difficult. Nevertheless, the virtual articulator is expected to generate precise simulations of various functions of stomatognathic systems through computer-aided designs. In this paper, we reviewed the developments regarding virtual articulator applications.
