  • Title: Interocclusal Records in Fixed Prosthodontics.
    Author: Thanabalan N, Amin K, Butt K, Bourne G.
    Journal: Prim Dent J; 2019 Nov 01; 8(3):40-47. PubMed ID: 31666172.
    Abstract:
    An accurate interocclusal record is essential for the successful delivery of fixed prosthodontic restorations. There are various materials and techniques used to obtain an interocclusal record in order to facilitate mounting of the dental casts on an articulator. The interocclusal record describes the vertical and horizontal relationship of the maxillary and mandibular teeth. In circumstances where the vertical relationship is not supported through a tripod of widely spaced opposing contacts, the interocclusal record will be needed to restore this vertical support to prevent inaccurate mounting. The clinician should understand when an interocclusal record is required and have an awareness of the different materials and techniques available to record an interocclusal registration.
