Recording edentulous jaw relationships.
An attempt has been made to present a practical method of transferring interocclusal records to an articulator. More complicated methods and fully adjustable articulators are available if desired. The Whip-Mix articulator and Quick Mount face bow is a combination that is very adequate in the fabrication of complete dentures. There is little excuse for not using a face bow. There is much to be gained and it is relatively easy to use. An effort has been made to give reasons for the steps outlined in that the why is an important as the how in technical procedures. If the reader is stimulated to pursue the subject, the texts listed in the references are recommended.
