  • Patent number: 4045873
    Abstract: The present dental articulator provides a means for correcting most incorrect bites after the models have been mounted and permits the model to be removed and placed on another similar articulator in the same position. An articulator frame comprises a base having opposed side frame members but supports a pivoting frame attached thereto by pivot pin and coil spring arrangement. A bottom bracket removably mounted on the base supports a U-shaped model bar for the lower model with adjustment means thereon removably supporting the model frame. An upper bracket on the pivoting frame removably supports a U-shaped upper model bar for adjustment thereon. The upper and lower models are mounted and adjusted in fixed position and then may be removed and sent without the articulator to be remounted later in a similar articulator.
