Abstract
An articulator for use in making dentures or parts thereof comprises two principal members that are movably interconnected by means of a condylar mechanism. Each of two condylar track members of said condylar mechanism is pivotable around two different axes for allowing different attitudes of the condylar track to be set, and there is a lock for locking each of said condylar track members in a desired attitude. This lock comprises for each condylar track member a locking mechanism enabling simultaneous locking against movement around the two axes, as well as enabling simultaneous unlocking for allowing movement around either or both of these axes.
