ABSTRACT:
A dental model articulator 10, intended for use with a dental model 12 comprising a cast of a set of upper teeth, and a case of a set of lower teeth, comprises two parts 18 and 20 which are constituted by a strip 22 of a resiliently flexible material. The strip 22 has a region of reduced thickness to form a flexible hinge 26 about which the parts 18 and 20 can hinge flexibly relative to each other. Each part 18, 20 has a boss 34 formed integrally therewith, each boss 34 defining a socket 36. A pair of attachment means 28, comprising a substantially spherical member 30 with a spigot-like formation 32 projecting therefrom is provided. The spigot-like formations 32 are insertable into the sockets 36 of the bosses 34. Each attachment means 28 is attachable to one of the casts to enable a user of the articulator 10 to manipulate the casts pivotally and laterally with respect to each other to correlate the casts.
