Abstract

This invention is a dental articulator designed for precise, and rapid attachment of dental casts without the use of plaster. The articulator is characterized by a double ball, a socket mount (18, 19, 36, 37) on the maxillary arm (13) of the articulator combined with plastic clips (80) for quick removal, and reinsertion of the stone cast into the articulator. The combination of these two components allows a technician to quickly, precisely mount, remove, and later remount the working cast for equilibrating the occlusion. The use of plastic snap on clips (80) provides flexibility in the choice of technique to be used to attach the working cast to the maxillary, and mandibular arms of the articulator. The mounting clip can be part of a mold used when pouring the stone, embedded into the stome cast, or glued to the surface of the cast. In addition, the stabilizing pressure pin (25), which maintains the positional angle, is improved with a tension release setting.
