  • Patent number: 11896450
    Abstract: An articulator having a maxillary member and a mandibular member, which are connected to each other via condylar articulations, wherein a maxillary adaptor is attachable or attached at the maxillary member and a mandibular adaptor at the mandibular member, wherein a maxillary alignment member especially is form-fittingly connected to the maxillary adaptor and a mandibular alignment member is especially form-fittingly connected with the mandibular adaptor, and wherein the alignment members are automatically alignable to each other and comprising scanning members, by means of which the arrangement of alignment members and adaptors is scannable in a scanner and especially the relative position thereof moreover is detectable in relation to the articulator via the scanner.

  • Publication number: 20060131162
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for electrodeposition, in particular for the electrodeposition of shaped dental parts. In addition to the standard components, this apparatus includes at least one magnetic connecting means for producing the electrical contact for the electrodeposition between at least one electrode and the current/voltage source of the apparatus. Furthermore, the invention describes an electrode which serves as a holding/contact element and has a magnet, and a component which interacts with this electrode and has a second magnet for providing the magnet contact-connection. This component is then assigned to the current/voltage source or a head or cover part of an electrodeposition appliance.
