Explanation: The sagittal inclination of the incisal guidance table is set to match the patient's natural incisor relationship. By bringing the central incisors into an end-to-end relationship, the articulator can be adjusted to simulate the patient's individual incisal guidance, which is essential for accurate jaw movement and occlusion.
For a semi adjustable articulator, the sagittal inclination of the incisal

4. bringing the central incisors into an end to end relationship
