Abstract

For developing accurate occlusion in fixed prosthodontics, the precise relation of maxillary and mandibular casts is an essential step. Direct occlusion of the casts is the most accurate method of articulation, when an adequate number of opposing teeth and stable intercuspation exist. In the absence of definitive occlusal contacts for direct relation of the casts, an interocclusal record is required. This article reviews different techniques for recording interocclusal relationship in fixed prosthodontics.
