Comparative studies on check-bite and central-bearing-point method for the remounting of complete dentures

1995

Thirty-six complete dentures were remounted both with check-bite as well as central-bearing-point (CBP) registration. The mandibular or denture position was registered in the condylar area three times with each method. Two independent operators carried out the registrations. One half of patients had their occlusion equilibrated according to the check-bite registration, the other half in the central-bearing-point position. After individual determination of the hinge axis the upper dentures were mounted by a face-bow transfer into a Dentatus articulator. A total of six registrations was performed and repeatedly compared in the condylar area in three dimensions using a computer supported measu…

Functional impression and jaw registration: a single session procedure for the construction of complete dentures*

2004

The conventional fabrication of complete dentures involves two separate clinical sessions for functional impression making and jaw registration. The presented method combines both procedures in one session. The aim of this study was to survey the three-dimensional tooth positions in complete dentures with reference to the ridges to establish arbitrary guideline values that could be used for the manufacturing of tooth-position analogue plastic rims on functional impression trays. New complete dentures were fabricated by supervised undergraduate students in the conventional manner for 104 edentulous patients. The position of the maxillary teeth was surveyed in the horizontal plane using the S…

Accuracy of check-bite registration and centric condylar position

2002

In a dentate subject a jaw relation can either be determined in maximum intercuspation and is as such given by the occlusal morphology, or the mandibular position can be allocated according to the centric position of the condyles. For comprehensive restorative treatment or analytic measures of the occlusion it is important to record the centric condylar position. Various registration methods have been described in the literature, but there is no consensus on which is the 'best'. The aim of the present study was therefore to assess the accuracy of various registration methods and evaluate a possible influence of the used materials. Four dentists were involved in the clinical part of the stud…

Studies on adaptation to complete dentures. Part II: Oral stereognosis and tactile sensibility

1995

High oral perception is thought to contribute to poor adaptation to new dentures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the oral stereognosis and tactile sensibility in edentate subjects and relate these to patient age and capability of adaptation to new prostheses. A total of 67 patients were provided with new complete dentures 2-3 weeks before the experiment. In 54 subjects, the oral stereognosis was evaluated by 12 different test-pieces, which were placed unseen on the tongue and had to be recognized. In 38 patients, the oral tactile sensibility was determined in the premolar area using copper foils. The capability of adaptation was evaluated by a questionnaire. Denture retention was ass…
