MOUNTING PLATE FOR ARTICULATOR

PURPOSE:To easily and economically perform the operations to successively check the occlusion state of the plural patients' teeth by providing magnets on the surfaces of the mounting plates of an articulator to be used by being mounted to the upper mounting plate and lower mounting plate of the articulator. CONSTITUTION:The magnets 16, 26 are embedded attachably and detachably into the surfaces 15, 25 to be mounted with the plaster models of the patient' teeth. An iron plate of nearly the same diameter as the diameter of the magnet 16 is embedded into the upper surface of the plaster model of the teeth of the patient's upper jaw. An iron plate of nearly the same diameter as the diameter of the magnet 26 is embedded into the upper surface of the plaster model of the teeth of the patient's lower jaw. The iron plate embedded into the upper surface of the plaster model of the teeth of the patient's upper jaw is attracted by the magnet 16 and the plaster model of the teeth of the patient's upper jaw is mounted to the surface 15 of the mounting plate for the upper jaw. The iron plate embedded into the upper surface of the plaster model of the teeth of the patient's lower jaw is attracted by the magnet 26 and the plaster model of the teeth of the patient's lower jaw is mounted to the surface 25 of the mounting plate for the lower jaw. The upper mounting plate is rotated in this state, by which the operation to check the occlusion state of the patient's teeth is economically executed.
