Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1989/009033
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a physiological three-dimensional articulator provided with a mechanism for reproducing movements of an upper jaw position and a lower jaw position, in which the center of rotation of a lower jaw frame provided in the reproducing mechanism for the lower jaw position is operated in the mouth opening and closing movement in the same manner as a rotation of a lower jaw of a human body which permits mouth opening and closing movement while it is moving, and additionally a mechanism for moving the lower jaw frame in the up and down direction simultaneously with the movement of the center of rotation is provided.
