ABSTRACT:
Dental articulator formed with individually adjustable, upper and lower carrier plates, each having means for quick-coupling to one of an interchangeable pair of planar mounts (each mount adapted to adhesively support an assembled denture against one of its faces). A pair of matching dentures can thus be assembled either within or away from the articulator, mounted and tested for occlusion therein, and subsequently reworked (as often as necessary) either within or when removed from the articulator. Essentially a pair of thrust-coupling or threaded attachment means on the carrier plate or on the mount, engage corresponding sockets of the opposite member. Formulation of the mount of inexpensive plastic enables discard after single use. Three ball support for lower carrier plate provides closed loop movement simulating human jaw; combination of transverse hinge and ball suspension of upper carrier plate enables both transverse tilting on longitudinal axis and arcuate swing or upper mount toward and away from lower mount, thus enabling reworking of either mounted denture without removal from articulator.
