Relation of Gothic arch apex to dentist-assisted centric relation.

These data suggest that the widely held belief that thumb pressure can position the mandible consistently more posterior than the position indicated by the Gothic arch apex is unfounded. Furthermore, this study provides no evidence to support the contention that the dentist-assisted jaw relation is more reproducible than the relation indicated by the Gothic arch apex.

Centric relation determinations: clinical and radiographic comparisons.

This study investigated variations in occlusal prematurities and condylar positions using different methods of determining centric relation. Thirty patients were randomly placed into three groups of 10. In Group I a clinical analysis of occlusal patterns using bilateral mandibular manipulation (BMM) was compared to results with a chin point (CPM) method. Group II compared CPM to an anterior guidance jig (CPJ) method. Group III compared BMM to CPJ. Standardized transcranial oblique radiographs were taken of each temporomandibular joint using CPM and BMM on 10 patients. Condylar position was determined with tracing evaluations and direct measurements of the radiographs. Clinical results indicated that the initial point of contact was located most accurately with CPJ. Both initial contact points and secondary points were disclosed with CPM. The BMM disclosed the most tooth contacts. Contacts were most prevalent on the premolars. Radiographic analyses of condylar positions were inconclusive.

Centric relation and the treatment position in rehabilitating occlusions: a physiologic approach. Part II: The treatment position.

This two-part article described philosophically and technically a physiologic approach to developing a maxillomandibular treatment position for rehabilitating occlusions. Procedures were outlined describing the use of temporary orthopedic interim prostheses that help to stabilize the tissues with patient function before recording the treatment position. The procedures meanwhile aid the dentist in diagnosing the patient's functional preferences regarding the coincidence of the treatment position with centric relation.
