Abstract
A dental articulator comprises an upper frame, a lower frame and a pair of condyle assemblies which permit articulating relative motion of the frames. The condyle assemblies each permit individual adjustment in an antero-posterior direction and a superior-inferior direction thus making possible the simulation study and correction of temporo-mandibular joint dysfunctions.
