Dental articulator for mounting casts without plaster

摘要

A dental articulator for mounting stone dental casts by means of a screw engaging a threaded aperture in the base of the dental casts in lieu of the prior method of mounting the casts by means of plaster. The threaded apertures may be formed directly into the casts, or by the preferred method of embedding plastic threaded buttons into the stone casts. This mounting method permits a more rapid mounting of the dental casts in the articulator and also permits a very rapid removal and remounting of the casts to their precise prior occlusion position.
