ABSTRACT:
A dental articulator for simulating relative jaw and tooth movements, especially useful for producing centric, lateral and forward relative jaw movements of simulated jaws containing a patient's simulated tooth structure, includes a plurality of selectable, pre-set, positive positions for locating simulated condyles and condylar joints to match those of a patient, shaft means mounted on the condyles, adjustable means for simulating superior, posterior and medial walls of condylar joints and override means to maintain the simulated jaws and teeth in relatively movable centric position when engaging the shaft and allowing accurate simulated forward and sideward relative jaw movements when disengaged therefrom. Also disclosed are preferred means for mounting the condyles and condylar joint wall parts and wall parts of improved structure to promote accurate simulation of actual condylar movements.
