Abstract

The aim was to develop a new method for simplifying and giving greater precision in the mounting of models of the upper dental arch, in semi or totally adjustable articulations. The project presented a new technique in molding, obtaining, transference and mounting of the plaster model in the articulating device, in any case that demands the use of an articulator for the diagnosis and planning of patient treatment. The project had as its final objective the development of a so-called transference mold, with which one is able to transfer the measurements of the upper arch of the patient to the articulator in a single stage, without the need to elaborate bases of measurement and orientation plans, and without the use of the facial arc fork and two halves of the transference of the model. During the execution of the project, at the stainless steel phase, prototypes were developed due to the complexity of the various anthropometric standards that exist within the country. (AU)
