Abstract
A three element disposable apparatus for dental cast articulation made of plastic or the like comprising a pair of pivotally attached cup members having grid means for removably mounting plaster casts thereon. A vertical guide pin is lockable in the upper cup member to determine its front displacement from the lower cup member. The inexpensive construction of this articulator makes it possible for each patient case to have its own new articulator.
