Short Core & Long Core Protocol

Mounting Diagnosis Guide

Each articulator has a different distance between the lower mounting plate and the condyle. The Baseline (Z) and Midline (Y) measurements, along with the brand of the articulator, will determine whether the long core or short core should be used to mount the case. Refer to the chart to determine if the long or short core is required for mounting.

Additionally, each articulator has a different distance between the front pin and the condyle. The Baseline (Z) and Midline (Y) measurements, along with the brand of the articulator, will indicate whether the short core should be flipped vertically or horizontally.
