| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention generally relates to an apparatus and method for positioning a maxillary dental arch model (13) in a dental articulator to simulate the positioning of a maxillary dental arch represented by the arch model. The arch model may be positioned on a plate (14) having a substantially planar surface with a fulcrum point (20) through which three generally mutually perpendicular axes are aligned. In addition, the plate may be removably mounted to an articulator and adjusted with respect to these axes based upon three linear and three angular measurements related to the positioning of a patient's maxillary dental arch in the patient's skull.</p> |
