ABSTRACT:
Maxillary and mandibular arch models are positioned in an articulator so that the plane of occlusion is in a three dimensional relationship about the articulator hinge axis substantially corresponding to the three dimensional relationship of the intraoral plane of occlusion about the mandibular hinge axis. A mechanically adjustable guide plane element is substituted in the place of one of the arch models and adjusted to fit the plane of occlusion of the other arch model. The teeth of such model are then adjusted in accordance with the occlusal plane guide. The occlusal plane guide is replaced by the heretofore removed arch model and its teeth are brought into centric relation occlusion with the previously adjusted arch model. The arch models are then discluded to a preselected centric wedge of opening of which an impression is made. A gnathological positioner may be fabricated from this impression.
