Inusing the open bite-gage it is not neces-sary to loosen the spring which holds thetwo main parts of the articulator to-gether. Therefore, in this respect also,this method is much simpler. It willbe seen that with either the protrusivebite or the open bite the artificial con-dyles assume the same position. Allthat is necessary is to press the artificialfossa down upon its condyle, and fastenit there with its thumbscrew. If, in mounting plates, the patientsfeatures should cause one to fear thatthere is an abnormality in the triangle,that is, if it be suspected that the sidesof the triangle vary materially, thenwith the pair of calipers used to obtainthe mandibular base line, a measure istaken from each condyle to the medianline of
