Abstract
A dental cast mounting plate is formed separate from a knob which extends through the plate and which is connectable to a dental articular frame by a mounting screw. A dental cast is mounted to the assembly by applying plaster to the plate and the knob. After the plaster has hardened and the cast and plate assembly removed from the articulator, the plate may be easily separated from the cast to be reused, while the knob remains embedded in the plaster for remounting or disposal.
