In modern dentistry, prosthodontists and general dental practitioners can provide accurate prosthodontic treatments to patients as a result of a macroevolution in dental technology field. The aim of this review paper is to provide an overview of articulators in dentistry, particularly in fixed and removable prosthodontics, their different types or classifications, indications, advantages, and limitations.
