On a semi-adjustable articulator, the incisal guide table represents what?

The curvature of the mandibular movement
A mechanical equivalent of the horizontal & vertical overlap of anterior teeth
The pathway of the masticatory muscles
The angle of the temporomandibular joint

The correct answer is: A mechanical equivalent of the horizontal & vertical overlap of anterior teeth

The incisal guide table is used to mimic the horizontal and vertical overlap (and overall position) of the patient's anterior teeth on the articulator. This allows the dentist to adjust and set the teeth in the most optimal position for proper function and esthetics. Option A, C, and D do not accurately describe the purpose of the incisal guide table on a semi-adjustable articulator. These options may refer to other components or functions of the articulator, but not the incisal guide table specifically. Therefore, they are not correct answers.
