Checking the occlusal relationship of complete dentures via a remount procedure

Correct occlusal relationships are a part of a successful prosthetic treatment of edentulous patients. The occlusal checking should be performed by a remount procedure because denture base materials and fabrication procedures cannot provide dimensionally accurate complete dentures. Occlusal errors resulting from the adjustment of denture bases to the denture foundation during a certain period of wearing are also corrected by means of remounting. The following remount procedures for complete dentures are described: fabrication of transfer casts, transfer of the maxillary denture with a face-bow, centric relation record and mounting of dentures with transfer casts in an articulator with a dental stone. Deflective occlusal contacts of denture teeth in centric occlusion are eliminated by selective grinding and by tooth guided excursive movements. In complete denture treatment priority is given to anterior/canine guided occlusion.
