ABSTRACT:
A dental articulator includes an articulator frame. The articulator frame has an upper member adapted to hold an upper mounting plate. The upper mounting plate holds an upper dental cast. An elongate lower member of the frame holds a lower mounting plate. The lower mounting plate holds a lower dental cast. The upper member is pivotally connected to the lower member so as to define an anatomically accurate hinge axis to simulate human jaw movement. The dental articulator can be used to form dental prostheses.
