A Fixed Prosthodontics Centric Relation Registration Technique Using Resin Copings.

The registration of an accurate centric relation is one of the most critical steps in a prosthodontic rehabilitation, yet it sometimes is an uncertain procedure. A technique using resin copings, each supporting an occlusal contact, is presented. By careful, selective addition of resin, the centric relation recording can be controlled. The technique requires a pattern of abutments to provide stability, and is, therefore, primarily applicable to fixed prosthodontics. Nonetheless, it is versatile enough to accommodate a variety of clinical situations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
