title: Simplified method for recording maxillomandibular relations in complete dentures.
abstract: A simplified technique for recording maxillomandibular relations in complete dentures is described. This technique enables the practitioner to construct a mandibular occlusal mini-rim directly in the mouth, to adjust it to the required vertical dimension and to record the maxillomandibular relations during a single appointment. The mandibular record is formed with wax, used to hold the occlusal vertical dimension anteriorly, and impression plaster, to record the centric relation posteriorly.
