  • Patent number: 11337784
    Abstract: A set of artificial teeth for a denture comprises a maxillary unit and a mandibular unit. When set up in lingualised occlusion or balanced occlusion, at least one of following occurs: the palatal cusp (1a) of the maxillary posterior tooth (7a) fits into the distal fossa (1b) of the mandibular posterior tooth (8a); the palatal cusp (2a) of the maxillary posterior tooth (7b) fits into the distal fossa (2b) of the mandibular posterior tooth (8b); the mesial palatal cusp (3a) of the maxillary posterior tooth (7c) fits into the central fossa (3b) of the mandibular posterior tooth (8c); the distal palatal cusp (4a) of the maxillary posterior tooth (7c) fits onto the marginal ridge (4b) of the mandibular posterior tooth (8c); and the mesial palatal cusp (5a) of the maxillary posterior tooth (7d) fits into the central fossa (5b) of the mandibular posterior tooth (8d).

  • Patent number: 7946847
    Abstract: An incisal guide for dental articulators or the like provided with an upper and a lower component which are movable relative to each other by way of a joint, the incisal guide being mountable on the upper or lower component and provided with a guide surface inclined with respect to a reference plane upon which an incisal pin is bearing and which, with a line of application of the greatest bearing force component denominated as normal, encloses an angle corresponding to the angle of protrusion and laterotrusion alignment of the human denture, at least one incisal table guide surface inclined relative to a reference plane being provided which may be positioned by a guide surface adjustment device, the articulator incisal pin during movement simulation moving over the predetermined incisal guide way on the incisal guide surface.

  • Patent number: 6015291
    Abstract: A dental articulator is disclosed, with condylar housings located in inteangeable fashion in mounts on the upper member of the dental articulator for accommodating and guiding condyles fixed to the lower member, where horizontal guide elements for the condyles for simulating the sagittal movements of the mandibular joint and Bennett guide elements for simulating the transverse movements of the mandibular joint are located in the condylar housing.
