Abstract:

Centric relation (CR) is the most controversial concept in dentistry. The spatial relationship of the condyle within the fossae has been widely explored, however the author believes that studies should focus on the origin of the concept, which is, a favorable mandible position for developing occlusion that can maximize the function and health of the orofacial system. With numerous techniques to test mandible functions, an ideal CR can be found via a trial and error process, starting from a suitable and repeatable reference. The author developed a highly repeatable and convenient way to record the reference mandible position with favourable clinical outcomes and better repeatability than conventional highly skill sensitive methods by modifying the registration method of a previous reference position.

Key words: centric relation, reference position, repeatability, therapeutic position
