  • Title: A clinical evaluation of materials for interocclusal registration in centric relation.
    Author: Pagnano VO, Bezzon OL, de Mattos MG, Ribeiro RF.
    Journal: Braz Dent J; 2000; 11(1):41-7. PubMed ID: 11213793.
    Abstract:
    Four techniques for interocclusal registrations of centric relation based on materials or combinations of materials usually utilized were tested by means of mounting of casts for a patient with partial lower edentulousness, without a free end saddle. To ensure the correct position of centric relation a Lucia jig was utilized. The following conditions for the record of posterior section were tested: registrations with wax, wax plus zinc oxide-eugenol paste, wax plus Duralay acrylic resin, and condensation silicone (putty). The evaluation was made by the measure of vertical distance between reference points in the base of the casts and calculation of variations occurring with each material. The combinations of wax plus zinc oxide-eugenol paste and wax plus Duralay acrylic resin showed the smallest variations in centric relation position.
