Plasterless dental articulator and method for mounting casts

摘要

A mechanically adjustable articulator for mounting poured dental casts used in the fabrication of dentures without the use of mounting plaster, the articulator having central locating pins for entering drilled apertures in the base of the casts, and further having adjustable retaining screws which enter drilled apertures in the perimeter of the casts to retain the casts in fixed position after which the casts may be adjusted to any desired relationship with each other; and a method for drilling and mounting the casts, including a drill jig useful for such purpose.
