An apparatus includes a dental model coupling portion and a base plate adapter coupling portion. The dental model coupling portion is configured to couple with a dental model. The base plate adapter coupling portion includes a body and a set of prongs extending from the body. The body is fixedly secured relative to the dental model coupling portion. The prongs are configured to removably secure the base plate adapter coupling portion to a base plate adapter of a dental model articulator. A base plate adapter includes a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The first side is configured to removably couple with the base plate adapter coupling portion. The second side is configured to removably couple with a dental model articulator.

Reciprocal positions of negative casts (2, 3) upper and lower dental arches, of a subject (S) recipient of a dental prosthesis (1), by means of an attitude detection device (40).

These positions are then transferred to a manual articulator (50) to be able to positionpositive models (20, 30) of the same upper and lower dental arches with a dentation model form for a dental prosthesis (1).

Using a column template (6), (50) adjustments are detected and brought back to an articulator robot (90), operated by actuators (94).

Chewing movements of the subject (S) are video-taped and digitized, so that a program generator (80) provdes a sequence of commands for driving the robot to move the models (20, 30) to replicate mandibular movements of the subject (S) so as to enable evaluation of correctness of the dentation model form, and possibly modify.

The present invention is a device for simulating lower jaw activity. The device can be utilized in cooperation with an artificial intelligent lower jaw occlusion and attitude recording device. The device comprises a base, an upper jaw tooth mold, an opening and closing rotating platform, a left and right rotating platform, a horizontal rotating platform, a front-back shifting platform and a lower jaw tooth mold. The present invention makes it possible to make lower jaw moving forward and backward, opening and closing (pitch), tilting left and right (yaw), in place rotating (yaw), and etc. Then, according to the data obtained by the artificial intelligent lower jaw occlusion and attitude recording device, the lower jaw activities concluded through the reverse engineering by means of the present invention facilitates production of accurate intra-oral device, and can be applied to unknown complex actions in dental medical research, such as occlusion, bruxism, swallowing, sounding, and etc.
