Occlusal Surface Transfer Instrument, Articulator, Occlusal Surface Setting Instrument, And Method For Making Post Crown By Using Them

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.
