title: [The centric relation. IV. Variations in condylar positions according to the methods of measuring centric relation and to the patient's clinical type].
abstract: When recording and transferring centric relation onto an articulator errors can be minimized by proper use of dental materials. Remaining errors may be due to either the patient or the clinician. 3 recording techniques (Lucia, Dawson, Ramfjord) are being tested by 2 operators on 12 patients. In order to get a proper centric relation one must not rely upon a technique of taking it but rather on an adequate clinical evaluation of the TMJ at that moment. The role of inadequate intermaxillary relationship upon painful TMJ syndroms cannot be underestimate.
