ARTICULATOR ENABLING PRECISE OCCLUSION MEASUREMENT BY CORRECTING ERRORS IN VERTICAL DIMENSION OF TEETH TO ACCURATELY REPRODUCE INTERMAXILLARY RELATIONSHIP OF TEETH, AND ARTICULATING METHOD USING SAME

摘要

The present invention is provided to correct errors in the vertical dimension of teeth by using an articulator. The present invention relates to an articulator for measuring the occlusion by fixing each teeth model to an upper jaw fixing plate and a lower jaw fixing plate and operating the fixing plates to be folded up and down by a folding means. The fixing plate comprises: a mounting plate horizontally formed to fix a teeth model; a plate to which the teeth model is attached and fixed and which is attached to and detached from the mounting plate; an attachment element individually embedded in the mounting plate and the plate to detachably fix the plate to the mounting plate; and an auxiliary plate which is inserted between the mounting plate and the plate and adjusts the height at which the plate is attached so as to control the distance between an upper jaw model and a lower jaw model and correct errors in the vertical dimension. Therefore, information about the dimension identified in the oral cavity of a patient by a dentist is transmitted to a laboratory without removing a wax rim, and the dimension is accurately reproduced by using the articulator in the laboratory, thereby enabling precise occlusion.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2016
