Abstract
An articurator is comprised of a mandibular frame being provided with condyles, a maxillary frame mounted on the mandibular frame via condylar guide mechanisms, an anterior guide table provided on the front end of the mandibular frame, and an anterior guide pin provided on the front end of the maxillary frame. The anterior guide table comprises a table portion and lateral wings. The table portion has a sagittal inclination angle adjusting mechanism, and the lateral wings has lateral wing angles adjusting mechanisms. The anterior guide pin makes contact with and slides on an anterior guide mechanism formed by the surface of the anterior guide table. The condylar guide mechanisms in which the condyle is positioned have condylar path inclination angle adjusting mechanisms. The sagittal inclination angle, the lateral wing angles, and the condylar path inclination angles are to be adjusted by two steps to specified values of a first group and to specified values of a second group.
