A new method to simplify and increase the precision of maxillary cast mounting procedures in fully adjustable or semiadjustable articulators.
This study introduces a new impression procedure that permits mounting the maxillary stone cast in an articulator for any patient treatment and is applicable to any dental arch with any impression material. A transfer tray was designed that makes it possible to transfer the patient's maxillary impression to the articulator in a one-stage procedure without the need for making record bases and occlusion rims or the need to use a face-bow bite fork.
