Method for transfer on hinge axis of a jaw model of a patient by means of a jaw adapter (1) to an articulating assembly unit (22) with a hinge axis (25) articulator, presenting the jaw adapter (1 ) a bite support (3) for the accommodation of a bite pattern and a coupling device (10) that can be connected forming a positive connection to the complementary coupling housing (23), which can be incorporated into the unit of assembly (22) in an adjustable and reproducible relative position with respect to the hinge shaft (25) of the mounting unit and can be connected to the coupling device (10), the method comprising the following steps: a) placing a material printing on a dental contact surface with the jaw adapter (1); b) by means of the impression material, connection of the jaw adapter (1) with the dental arch of the patient's jaw by generating an impression of the dental row in the dental impression material; c) performing a registration of the mandibular joint with determination of the hinge axis; d) connection of the bite support (3) with a patient's jaw model by dental printing of the impression material on the bite support (3) e) arrangement of the bite support (3) and the jaw model in the mounting unit (22) by connecting the coupling device (10) of the bite support with the coupling housing (23) of the mounting unit and approximation of the relative spatial position of the coupling housing (23) of the unit for mounting in front of the hinge shaft (25) of the mounting unit (22) to the relative spatial position obtained in the registration between the hinge shaft (8) of the patient and the coupling device (10) of the jaw adapter (1) until the hinge axis (8) of the patient and the hinge axis (25) of the assembly unit coincide; f) fixation of the lower jaw model on the mounting plate of the lower jaw of the mounting unit (22), characterized by the fact that the jaw adapter (1) is a lower jaw adapter, which the determination of the spatial situation of the hinge shaf
