Introduction: There has been continuous controversy regarding Centric Relation (CR) definition over the years. Objective: As it is essential for oral rehabilitation and orthognathic surgery, this study aimed to evaluate whether there is a consensus among oral and maxillofacial surgeons, orthodontists, and prosthodontists regarding the definition of CR, Centric Occlusion (CO) and Retruded Contact (RC). Methods: An electronic questionnaire was sent to groups of these three specialties, assessing concepts of occlusal relationships and condylar positioning.
