The preadjusted orthodontic appliance has improved the efficiency and effectiveness of the orthodontist in achieving good final results for patients in general. However, the orthodontist is limited in achieving excellent final results because of individual patient variation from the prescription of the preadjusted appliance as well as the orthodontist's ability to precisely place the appliance. This article presents a comprehensive system of evaluation of the individual patient to be used during the finishing stage of treatment and a written system of notation that can guide the orthodontist in producing an excellent finished result for each patient. In this system the orthodontist considers multiple aspects of esthetics, occlusion and function, periodontal health and root alignment, and stability. Every feature of these characteristics is examined and desired changes are noted on the "detailing form" resulting in a written plan that guides the orthodontist to achieve excellence in finishing. This written form can also act as a final checklist of obtainment of the goals of orthodontic treatment. This system of finishing can improve the efficiency of the individual orthodontist and assist in communication in multidoctor practices.

This study was conducted to elucidate the relationship between the presence of occlusal support in edentulous subjects and their ability for physical exercise. Ten complete denture wearers were selected and instructed to jump vertically while standing on a force plate with and without occlusal support (i.e. dentures). On the curve recorded by the force plate (1) reaction time (latency) (2) jump elevation time and (3) maximum kicking force were analysed. The reaction time, which is an index of physical quickness, was significantly prolonged when the subjects lost their occlusal support. This result suggests that reconstruction of occlusal support at a desirable mandibular position has significance not only for the restoration of masticatory function but also for the maintenance of physical exercise.
