Articulator—semiadjustable, arcon with lower and upper parts that could be detached from one another or interconnected, with two mechanical joints. An upper horizontal shoulder (5) is fixed to an elevator (4), said elevator (4) is connected to an upper vertical body (11) and can move vertically to adjust the vertical position. A lower vertical body (10) is fixed to the base (1) and holds an axis with two joint heads (14). The upper vertical body (11) is pivotably connected to the lower vertical body (10) through the two joint heads (14), the distance between the joint heads can vary due to an elastic element (18), thus reproducing the lateral shift. The articulation between the vertical bodies (11 and 10) can be locked and unlocked via an elbow shaped piece (13). The articulator lower part has an incisive platform (8) with a position angle that could be adapted.

An articulator including: a lower member in which an attachment plate and a body can be firmly and easily attached and detached by fitting a rear coupling part to a housing part without using a plaster, the attachment plate can be easily separated by first fixing pins protruding downward from the body, and the attachment plate and an oral model can be accurately cut by cutting marks, tooth center marks, and a round groove on the attachment plate and tooth center marks on the body; and an upper member where an impression of counter-teeth corresponding to the oral model attached to the lower member, in which the lower and upper members are rotatably connected by connecting mechanisms. Accordingly, the manufacturing process can be simplified, the actual motion of jawbones can be achieved, and the height between the upper member and the lower member can be ensured by a support unit.

In one embodiment, a method includes: accessing a bite register with a post, upper and lower dental models, and a fixture having upper and lower plates and a clamp; coupling the register post to the fixture, such that the register post has a first orientation; coupling the upper and lower models to the register; coupling the upper and lower models to the upper and lower plates; uncoupling the register; coupling an appliance post to the fixture, such that the appliance post has a second orientation the same as the first orientation; and forming a custom oral appliance coupled to the appliance post and maintaining the second orientation of the appliance post. In one embodiment, a device is configured to couple to an articulator and to position and retain a bite register post. The device includes a lower member, first and second couplers, an upper member, and an adjustor.
摘要:
A method of custom molding occlusal surfaces of dentures and the surfaces thus produced. Special teeth are used for the lower posterior teeth on the mandibular plate of dentures and a central bearing device is attached to the dentures. Each special tooth has a central receptacle used initially for holding an insert for positioning the dentures while the central bearing device is adjusted and then as a container to hold moldable resin when the insert is removed. The central receptacle holds the resin as it is molded by the opposing teeth moving through all possible eccentric positions, with the central bearing device preventing the teeth from closing too far. The resin is then cured and trimmed and the dentures are clinically fit to the patient before the central bearing device is removed from the dentures.
摘要:
An incisal guide for dental articulators or the like provided with an upper and a lower component which are movable relative to each other by way of a joint, the incisal guide being mountable on the upper or lower component and provided with a guide surface (6) inclined with respect to a reference plane upon which an incisal pin (5) is bearing and which, with a line of application of the greatest bearing force component denominated as normal, encloses an angle corresponding to the angle of protrusion and laterotrusion alignment of the human denture, at least one incisal table guide surface inclined relative to a reference plane being provided which may be positioned by a guide surface adjustment device (4), the articulator incisal pin during movement simulation moving over the predetermined incisal guide way on the incisal guide surface.
摘要:
An articulator, specifically for applications in dentistry and dental technique, including a lower base (2) and an upper base (3) reciprocally attached at the joints (6, 7) placed at a variable height or distance from the base (3) of the articulator, in order to allow the occlusal plane of the dental arches to be positioned at the correct level on the condylar axis.
摘要:
An articulator that can be recalibrated easily in the field. The articulator has left and right condyle elements that resemble barbells, with an inner sphere, an outer sphere, and a shaft connecting the inner and outer spheres together. In the preferred embodiment, the outer spheres are releasably fixed to the lower frame member by clamping members, and the inner spheres are pivotably mounted to the upper frame member. To calibrate the articulator, the clamping members are loosened, an alignment fixture is installed to ensure that the articulator is in proper alignment, and then the clamping members are tightened into position, fixing the outer spheres in the properly-aligned position.
摘要:
A full reproduction articulator faithfully and accurately reproduces jaw movement, particularly the chewing movement, including individual differences. It includes a mandibular model member (10), a base (11) erected on this mandibular model member (10), two condyle balls (12, 12) projecting from this base (11), a maxillary model member (13) that occludes the mandibular model member (10), and condyle boxes (17) linked to both sides of the maxillary model member (13) and in contact with the two condyle balls (12, 12) for regulating movement in the anterior/posterior direction, left/right direction and vertical direction of the maxillary model member (13). A Bennett lift mechanism (16) is also provided on the base (11) for lifting the maxillary model member (13) from the working side condyle ball (12) when the maxillary model member (13) moves in the left/right direction, independently of the working side condyle box (17).
摘要:
In a device (51) for holding an in particular plate-like implement (52) serving for forming teeth, in particular a positioning calotte, in an articulator (1), having a holder (55) for the implement (52) which is held on the articulator (1), upon employment of an articulator (1) with a detachable upper part (37) and upon employment of only the lower part (35) of the articulator (1) the holder (55) is mounted on the joint parts (36) of the lower part (35) pivotably about the pivot axis (5) containing the joint parts (36).
摘要:
An appliance for the three-dimensional adjustment of the maxillary cast is mounted by means of a screw on an articulated part. The appliance includes a first measuring element whose tip cooperates with a first reference point on a central incisor of the maxillary cast. The appliance includes also a second and a third measuring element whose tips correspond each with a further reference point on a first molar of the maxillary cast. Each of these measuring elements can be adjusted separately and three-dimensionally to the desired position by the special design of the appliance.
