Abstract
The invention relates to an exchangeable magnet fixture with correspondingly shaped mounting plate for releasably securing plaster models on the lower frame part and on the upper frame part of a dental articulator, the plaster models in each case being plaster-cast on a mounting plate which has a metal plate with which the mounting plate is held securely on the magnet fixture. The magnet fixture is designed so that it can be used in exchange for the conventional screw connection between the upper frame part or lower frame part and the screw-on mounting plate in the hitherto customary dental articulators.
