ABSTRACT:
An improved articulator for monitoring and correcting masticatory surfaces of the upper and lower jaw portions of a dental prosthesis model is provided. The improved articulator includes a frame and two reproduction bodies movably mounted on the frame that are respectively designed to carry an upper and lower jaw portion of a dental prosthesis. Articulation means connected to the reproduction bodies move the bodies three-dimensionally in relation to one another to copy the articulative movements of a patient. Compensation means connected to at least one of the reproduction bodies provides three-dimensional adjustment of a jaw model portion in relation to the reproductive body, when the jaw model is attached to the body.
