Patent ID: 8197254

Claim:
A set of artificial teeth comprising: at least one pair of occluding upper and lower artificial molar teeth, wherein one of the pair of artificial molar teeth has an occlusal surface with a plurality of convex adjustment surfaces that are scalable for occlusal adjustment formed thereon, each of the convex adjustment surfaces being formed as a cylindrical surface or a conical surface and having a straight meridian line, another of the pair of artificial molar teeth has an occlusal surface with a plurality of opposing surfaces formed thereon, each of the opposing surfaces being formed as a cylindrical surface or a conical surface and having a straight meridian line, each of the convex adjustment surfaces has only one point of contact with one of the opposing surfaces along their respective straight meridian lines, a longitudinal center axis of the cylindrical surface or the conical surface forming each of the convex adjustment surfaces and a longitudinal center axis of the cylindrical surface or the conical surface forming the one of the opposing surfaces are not parallel to each other, and each of the convex adjustment surfaces at the one point of contact is scalable such that after scaling all of the opposing surfaces contact the convex adjustment surfaces.
