A premanufactured dental model base, and method, for supporting a cast dental model. The dental model base may be selectively connected to an articulator attachment plate which is adaptable for connecting the dental model base to a metal articulator. The same dental model base, at a user's option, may also be connected to a disposable articulator through a groove in the base that engages a disposable articulator tongue or by connecting a disposable articulator ball directly to a socket in the base. Thus, the dental model base may be conveniently used with either a metal articulator or a disposable articulator. In one embodiment, a concave socket at one end of the dental model base may engage an articulator ball or may engage the articulator attachment plate such that the attachment plate is detachably connected to the dental model base.
