Abstract

The procedure described can allow correlation of clinical recordings of the patient's centric position with articulated working casts, thereby potentially eliminating most of th occlusal adjustments required when the restoration is seated in the mouth.

The practice of complete denture prosthodontics by selected dental graduates.

Graduates of a dental school in the southeastern United States were surveyed for the procedures they used in practicing complete denture prosthodontics. Of the 530 graduates representing 15 graduating classes, 80% returned the questionnaires. Most respondents (94.8%) made complete dentures, but only 3.5% devoted more than 20% of their practice time to this phase of prosthodontics. In practice, the average graduate performed approximately one half of the techniques that had been judged academically to be clinically essential. Compliance decreased proportionately with the number of years in practice. Factors affecting compliance include the influence of peer practitioners and continuing education courses. The content of the predoctoral curriculum needs to be reviewed for its relevancy to continuing education and to dental practice.

Recording centric and eccentric occlusal disturbances with a new recording device.

A recording device termed a "Kleinrok Functiograph" was introduced to simultaneously document condylar- and tooth-guided mandibular movements on the same plate. The Functiograph instrument permitted objective monitoring of mandibular movement without tooth contact, with all tooth contacts, and allowed analysis of the correlation of these two recordings. After 10 years of conducting investigations on centric occlusion using the Functiograph instrument combined with clinical, radiographic, and electromyographic studies, it was possible to differentiate the horizontal Functiograph recordings of normal and disturbed centric occlusion at a clinically acceptable vertical dimension. Two types of centric occlusal disturbances were classified to accelerate diagnosis and standardize communication.
