Professor of Prosthodontic,
Faculty of Dentistry
Cairo University
When you realize you've made a mistake,
take immediate steps to correct it.
RECORDING JAW RELATIONSHIPS
1. Check denture foundation.
2. Establish facial contour.
3. Establish occlusal plane.
4. Maxillary face-bow record.
5. Determination of vertical dimension of centric
occluding relation.
6. Determine centric relation at the accepted vertical
dimension.
7. Locking device ( Recording the C.O.R.)
1. Orientation relations
2. Vertical relation, and
3. Antero - posterior relation
Three - dimensional record
Boucher classified jaw relations into three groups
1- ORIENTATION RELATIONS
• Orientation of maxilla in relation to base of skull
and the hinge axis
The axis can be located by the facebow.
2- Vertical relation
• Orientation of occlusal plane
Orientation of occlusal plane
and the Vertical relation
• Help in achieving esthetic, phonetics and
mastication.
• Affect stability of complete denture &
ultimately result in alveolar bone resorption if
not properly achieved.

recording
• Occlusal blocks and facial contour
• Occlusal Plane
• Vertical Dimension
• Centric Relation
• Eccentric Relations
Wax registration method
(Wax wafer method)
Wax Registration Method
I- Check denture foundation
For Extension, Retention and Stability
Check Bite Method
II- Establish facial contour and orientation
of occlusal plane
III- Determination of occlusal plane
3- Physics and mechanics (leverage action
and parallelism)
Regarding:
1- Aesthetic appearance
of the teeth
2- Function (chewing and
speech)
III- Determination of occlusal plane
The interpupillary plane The Ala-tragus line
III- Determination of occlusal plane
III- Determination of occlusal plane
Check Bite Method
Guide lines
1- Central line
(midline)
2- The corner line
(canine line)
3- The high lip line
and low lip line
Check Bite Method
Notch Preparation
Occlusion rim notched
to aid stabilizing the
record bases
IV- Mounting to the upper cast
V. Determination of the Vertical
dimension of occlusion
2 to 4 mm
Vertical Dimension
V D O = V D R - F W S
VI. Centric Jaw Relation Registration
Centric Relation Registering
1- Patient in a Slightly Supine
position
2. CRITICAL! Check that record base
heels/rims do not touch
Eliminate contact with record bases
3- Equalize pressure of occluding
forces
Maintain even contact between the upper and
lower occlusion blocks without displacement of
denture supporting tissues,
at the predetermined
vertical dimension of
centric occluding
relation.
4. Remove 2 mm. of wax from the
lower occlusion block. Replace them
by 4 mm. softened wax.
5. Evenly soften the wax by tapping it
with the edge of a heated wax spatula.
6- Both rims should be inserted into the
mouth and Stabilized using index fingers
on the flange and the thumb under the
symphysis to held it firmly in place
7- Guiding the mandible into centric position
a. Index fingers on the rim, thumbs under
symphysis
Centric Relation Registering
b. Jiggle the mandible to freely arc
c. Allow the patient to close into contact
d. Ask the patient to
bite or close on
your fingers
posteriorly to close
the rims together
– Do NOT push the mandible or
dislodge the record base
– Medium must be dead soft
– Minimal closing pressure
(Yurkstas and Kapur)
Centric Relation Registering
e- Let the patient occlude lightly in
centric and displace 2 mm from the
soft wax
8- The vertical dimension is re-checked.
Check Bite Method
9. Mark the Central line and canine lines
extending from upper rim to lower rim
in centric relation position
Check Bite Method
10- Remove occlusion blocks together, Rinse.
A sharp imprint of the V-shaped notches should be
recognize.
11. Remove all displaced wax outside the occlusal
surface of the lower block. It may act as inclined
planes, Rinse.
Registration Should be
Sharp, Not Rounded
Keep Wax Neat
12- Return occlusion blocks to the mouth to check
correctness of centric occluding relation record.
The midline of the mouth should be rechecked and
scored with a knife on the occlusion rim
Recheck the registration repeatedly
13. Assemble the two occlusion blocks together
outside patient’s mouth according to the
locking projections. The trial denture bases
should not be touched posteriorly, Rinse.
Locking device
The imprints of V-shaped
notches are used to lock upper
and lower occlusion blocks.
Methods to guide the mandible
in centric relation
1- Patient in a Slightly Supine position.
2- Tongue retrusion.
3- Swallowing.
4- Biting operator’s fingers.
5- Relaxation.
6. Fatigue X
7- The temporalis muscle check X
Guiding the patient to close in centric relation is done by saying to the
patient, "Close on your back teeth". If the thumb is not placed
against the chin, most patients will close anteriorly to the centric
occlusal position. However, strong pressure should not be used on the
chin, otherwise the jaw will protrude
1- Chin push guidance (CPG) (Kabnacell 1964)
Thumb at the menton
Guiding the patient to close in centric relation is done
by asking the patient to touch a wax knob placed on
the posterior border of the maxillary base in the
midline by the tip of his tongue (tongue retrusion).
Knob for tongue retrusion
2- Tongue retrusion
Thumb at the menton
Helkimo et al 1973
3- Using index and thumb fingers of the left hand to
stabilize the upper flange and the index fingers of
the right hand to stabilize the lower flange and the
thumb under the symphysis to held it firmly in place
4- Bimanual guidance or manipulation
Using index fingers on the flange and the thumbs
under the symphysis to held it firmly in place
5- Ramus assisted chin point guidance
Simon and Nicholls (1980)
Thumb at the chin (posterior pressure) while index and
second finger on the lower border (upward pressure)
Take Care during Making the Record
1. Ensure wax is dead soft
2. Ensure smooth arc of closure, no horizontal
deviations ( e.g. due to pain)
Have patient close into record correctly
3. Use index fingers and thumb to stabilize the
record bases.
4. Do NOT push the mandible or dislodge the
record base
5. Patient opens, relaxes, and slowly closes
(Jiggle the mandible)
• Gently arc the mandible in a hinge-like motion
• Operator uses tactile senses to ensure the
mandible does not translate
Take Care during Making the Record
6. Never instruct the patient to bite
firmly nor quickly >>
Causes translation or inaccuracy in
the record.
Take Care during Making the Record
7. Ask patient to stop as soon as you asked
him to stop (the correct position has been
reached)
Some may not be able to tell when wax
records contact.
8. The trial denture bases should not be
touched posteriorly
Take Care during Making the Record
laboratory Procedures
1. The articulator still locked in centric, the incisal pin should be flush with
the upper member of articulator and the upper mounting being properly
secured in place.
2. Seal upper and lower occlusion rims in the proper relation before attaching
the lower cast to the mounting ring with plaster.
3. Invert the articulator and place the lower occlusion rim to be properly
related to the upper according to indices taken from the patient’s mouth.
4. Both occlusion blocks are properly seated on their casts without
interference or hitting of the rears, Apply plaster on the lower cast and
close the upper member upon it.
5. Trim the mounting neatly and wash all plaster off the articulator, never
present a dirty articulator or rough untidy mounting.
