This article describes a procedure that simultaneously registers maximal intercuspal position and gingival emergence profile. The materials used in this procedure are inexpensive, readily available, and easy to use. The clinician can inspect the framework, cast, and tissue profile before sending them to the laboratory. When this method is properly used, it allows better communication with the dental technician, saves chair time, and reduces the number of laboratory procedures as currently practiced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
