Accessory for making jaw impressions in dentistry - has plaster holding reusable plate with holding impression and flanges

摘要

The accessory is used in dental technology for articulators which simulate individual jaw joints. This articulator has a small table made from thin, stable, plate made from sheet metal or plastics. The plate surface has a concave, for example, cruciform impression for holding dental plaster. This plaster is spread to take the upper jaw impression and the impression is made by holding the plate in the articulator arm in a suitable position to provide vertical support. The completed impression is lifted from this support table and the table can be reused. The approximate dimensions of this table are: width 8 centimetres, length 12 centimetres and depth 3 centimetres. This plate has flanged edges and holes for levelling screws.
