ABSTRACT:
A mounting plate is formed from plastic and with a first one of its planar surfaces substantially flat and otherwise formed to be affixed to a dental model. A connecting rib, formed to extend out from the other planar surface of the mounting plate, and along its entire length, has a modified "T" shaped configuration with a vertical leg extending up from the planar surface and a cross-arm extending out to each side of the leg so as to form a groove to each side of the vertical leg between the planar surface of the plate and the opposed surface of the cross-arm. A slot is formed through the central rib of each articulator with a shoulder extending from each wall of the slot into the slot but so as to leave a narrow passage sized to receive the vertical leg of the modified "T" shaped rib. The grooves formed between the cross-arm of the rib and the plate surface, in turn, receive the shoulders that extend into the slots, all so as to tightly receive the connecting rib of the mounting plate and firmly but removably secure the mounting plate, and any dental mold affixed thereto to one of the bows of the dental articulator.
