title: Centric relation and the treatment position in rehabilitating occlusions: a physiologic approach. Part II: The treatment position.
abstract: This two-part article described philosophically and technically a physiologic approach to developing a maxillomandibular treatment position for rehabilitating occlusions. Procedures were outlined describing the use of temporary orthopedic interim prostheses that help to stabilize the tissues with patient function before recording the treatment position. The procedures meanwhile aid the dentist in diagnosing the patient's functional preferences regarding the coincidence of the treatment position with centric relation.
