Suggested modifications for the leaf wafer system.
The Woelfel leaf wafer system provides an easy and accurate way to register centric relation position, which is important in dental practice. This article suggests the following modifications of the system that should enhance the accuracy and convenience of the technique: (1) custom deform wafer before deprogramming or tripodizing the mandible, (2) mark position of leaf gauge at wafer slot, (3) secure leaf gauge to wafer with cyanoacrylate glue, and (4) write pertinent information on paper leaf gauge.
