    Abstract: An artificial denture-skull for dental teaching and practice purposes, consisting of the model of an upper jaw which is equipped with teeth and of the model of a lower jaw which is equipped with teeth, the lower jaw model being connected with the upper jaw model for pivotal movement through the intermediary of two jaw linkages which are arranged at respectively both sides of the jaw models, whereby the lower jaw model is presently equipped with an articulated ball belonging to the jaw linkages and which is guided within an articulating track arranged in an articulating box on the upper jaw model. For the most possible exact simulation of the human head, the denture-skull can also be provided with a cerebral skull portion, as well as with a pocket-shaped covering possessing an oral or mouth aperture, for the resultant formation of a complete phantom head.
