摘要

There are provided an occlusal surface transfer instrument, an articulator, and an occlusal surface setting instrument capable of making an artificial tooth with a dentition adapted to patient's occlusal surface, and a method of making an artificial tooth by use of them.;An occlusal surface transfer instrument 10 according to the present invention is constituted of: a bite material holding member 2 which holds a non-hardened bite material 1 in a bitable state; a connection member 3 whose one end is provided with the bite material holding member; a pupil line setting rod 4 disposed in the other end of the connection member, and a median line setting rod 5 which is attachable at right angles to the pupil line setting rod and in an arbitrary angular position around a material axis of the pupil line setting rod. An insertion hole 6 having a circular section is formed in the other end of the connection member 3, and an inserting portion 7 to be fitted into the insertion hole and having a circular section is protruded from the vicinity of the center of the pupil line setting rod 4, and the inserting portion 7 is inserted into the insertion hole 6 to thereby constitute the pupil line setting rod 4 at right angles with respect to a material axis of the connection member 3 and so as to be swingable or rotatable around the material axis.
