title: Simplified procedure for making gold occlusal surfaces on denture teeth.
abstract: The procedure described is used to reproduce, in gold, the occlusal morphology of complete and removable partial denture teeth or those of an implant-supported prosthesis. The gold occlusal surfaces are made after all adjustments are completed and the occlusion is harmonious. An acrylic resin strut reinforces the wax patterns, and a reline jig is used to accurately stamp out the occlusal anatomy in wax. Careful adherence to the step-by-step procedure is required to achieve an excellent result.
