<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To develop an articulator and a method thereof which can materialize improvement in efficiency and accuracy of manufacturing prosthesis by properly correcting a position, with an upper and lower dentition models set in the articulator, without taking occlusion in a patient's revisit of the hospital where a checkbite is used with an excess thickness left on the upper and lower tooth contact faces or with wrong occlusion produced on account of improper occlusion taking.SOLUTION: An articulator is devised in which, even with a checkbite having improper occlusion recorded, since the vertical relation of relative dentition in the oral cavity is intact, the vertical occlusion on one side only where occlusive relation is simple on the articulator is first properly adjusted and made to occlude. In such event, with the position state on one side that is made to occlude relative to the condylar as a reference, the other side is also adjusted, which makes the right and left and vertical dentition moved with the same angle and distance and occluded. The articulator of the invention has this adjustment function.</p> |
