摘要:
Dental systems and methods related to impressionless dental modeling. A dental modeling system includes a dental model base and a mounting plate. The dental model base includes a plate support surface and a plurality of pin receiving apertures formed in the support surface. The mounting plate includes a plate portion positioned on the plate support surface and a plurality of pins extending into the pin receiving apertures to provide removable attachment of the mounting plate to the dental model base. The plate portion includes a model support surface configured to support a model of a person's teeth. The model may be formed directly on the model support surface using an impressionless technique. The model may be formed separately using an impressionless technique and then bonded to the model support surface.

An improved tray system and articulator for use with a replication of a dental patient's teeth taken by a conventional dental impression in the creation of a dental model of the patient's mouth. A first tray and a second tray are provided, each tray including a base surface, first and second spaced apart and upwardly extending side walls and first and second end walls. The side walls are each defined by pluralities of spaced apart and vertically extending raised portions which permit segmented portions of the upper and lower dental models to be releasably attachable in correct position. The articulator includes a first mounting portion extending from the first tray and a second identically shaped mounting portion extending from the second tray. A first insert portion engages the first mounting portion and a second insert portion engages the second mounting portion. The first and second insert portions are each adjustable in height relative to their associated trays and further include aligning eyelet portions which permit them to be hingedly secured along a common axis so as to provide for desired positioning of the opposingly arrayed dental models.

An articular support system for dental model sets includes a fixture having an upper portion carried by a lower base portion. The base portion has a base plate which connects with an inner support post. This post is formed with a vertically extending inner passageway. The upper portion includes an inner and outer plate connected by a releasable hinge. To use the system a base of a dental model of a person's upper teeth and lower teeth are each molded with front and rear indentations. Each model then fits into a bracket having spaced apart end walls. On an inner side of each end wall is a locking tab that fits into the respective model indentations. The lower teeth model bracket next is affixed to the fixture base plate with mastic. The upper model teeth then are placed in contact with the lower model teeth to reproduce the bit that occurs inthe person's mouth. Next, the upper portion inner plate is loosely positioned in the base portion post passageway. With the outer plate positioned on top of the upper teeth model bracket, the plate and bracket are joined together with mastic. Lastly, the upper portion inner plate is secured with mastic in the post passageway. During preparation of crowns, dentures and like appliances, the models may be readily removed from the fixture and then reattached with the bite positioning accurately and reliably reproduced.

An adjustable occlusal plane table for use with an articulator having a dental arch model mounted thereon includes a planar surface that is three dimensionally adjustable so as to be positioned along the plane of occlusion defined by the arch model. The occlusal plane table includes grid lines on the planar surface for recording the initial position of the arch model on the surface and for recording the change in position of the arch model with respect to the original plane of occlusion thereof. An intrusion ruler having equal steps formed along one edge is used to measure vertical displacement of said arch model from said occlusal plane surface.

Apparatus for fixing a plaster cast in an articulator for producing dental prostheses, including a three-point support (5) which is mainly defined by a body (8) to which two coaxial projections (15,16) are fixed and with which a small lath (11) is slidably received, the longitudinal direction of the lath (11) being perpendicular to the general longitudinal direction of the projections (15,16).
摘要:
A device for use with an articulator in the construction of artificial dentures, comprising a base adapted to be placed on the articulator, a tabletop on the base, the height of which is adjustable; and a removable template adapted to be pivotably mounted to a cradle provided in said tabletop. A knife edge unit with spaced apart knife edges, and a spear box and pointer adapted to be raised or lowered by means of a ramp and associated adjustment screw is removably attached to said base in a manner such that said spear box is guided for movement along said ramp by threaded means in simultaneously both upward and forward directions, and the pointer being adapted to retain in place thereon an upper rim impression and tray prior to its being mounted to an upper mounting ring of the articulator.

A dental articulator has a tooth supporting tray secured to a platform by a key and keyway wherein the sidewalls of the keyway are resiliently supported to permit yielding of the sidewalls to overcome any clogging by particulate matter which may be present in a place of use of the articulator. A set of legs upstanding from the tray maintains orientation of the tray relative to the platform.

Dentures or denture elements that are anatomically related to Camper's Plane are prepared employing the relator assembly of the present invention. The relator assembly is composed of (i) a vertically disposed support that is maintained in position with a stand member; (ii) a horizontally disposed occlusal base member; (iii) a maxillary base member that is pivotably connected to the upper portion of the support, the lower surface of the maxillary base member positioned in substantial vertical alignment with and in a plane parallel to the upper surface of the occlusal base member; (iv) cast positioning element located on the lower surface of the maxillary base member; (v) a labial drape locator that is adapted to be positioned on and removed from the upper surface of the occlusal base member; and (vi) an arch locator that is adapted to be positioned on and removed from the arch locator holder element of the labial drape locator.
摘要:
A dental apparatus wherein dental models are detachably assembled with an articulator in a repeatable relationship by the use of improved dental model attachment members and articulator means affording greater and easier working access to the models and facilitating positioning and manipulation thereof.
