A method of fabricating a custom denture using a preformed tooth arch and a custom formed denture base, attaching these units with a self polymerizing plastic, using a plasterless keying articulator in conjuction with an occlusal translator thereby completing the entire fabrication of a custom denture on the articulator without the conventional waxup, flasking, processing which is the present state of the art.

Custom denture fabrication technic

A denture occlusal mounting translator to transfer the patient's occlusal measurements in the exact location by the positioning of the model to set artificial teeth to the patient's interoral plane, eliminating the need of a wax occlusal rim.

Denture occlusal mounting translator

A dental articulator for mounting stone models without the need of plaster, by the use of a flexible model former with a rim around its edge and a square raised nipple, a ferromagnetic disc, magnets and a square keying device on the articulator. This method permits rapid articulation. The models may also be removed and replaced at will while maintaining the previously established centric.
