Abstract
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.
