title: A time-saving method for transferring occlusal vertical dimension and centric relation of complete denture to a full arch implant prosthesis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This clinical report describes a time-saving recording procedure for implant prosthesis.
  
  
  BACKGROUND
  In implant prosthodontics, a few procedures have been suggested to record jaw relationships. Record bases with occlusion rims supported by healing abutments, or screw retained bases are the conventional methods used for mounting definitive implant casts in the articulator.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The method described in this article reduces the chair time and is comfortable for both the patient and clinician.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In this article, a chair side technique is presented for articulating the definitive implant casts that maintains the established OVD and CR of the patient's existing complete dentures.
