Determining and recording the intermaxillary relation - opportunities and consequences

The study reflects the evaluation of the results of the stage of determining and recording the intermaxillary relationship, made for the prosthetic treatment of 92 (50 m., 42 f.) patients aged between 23 and 76 years old, with partial defects of the dental arches in one or both jaws. The basic principle for determining the intermaxillary relationship consists in evaluating stability maximum intercuspation position and the iatrogenic factors that can derange it. The use of oclusal rims will ensure the correctness of the determination stage and registration of the intermaxillary relationship.
