Materials for reliable interocclusal measurements

A new alternative interocclusal recording method using impression material reinforced by a stabilising tray has been compared to conventional methods in three clinical cases.There were no significant differences between the methods because clinical factors and clinical variation rather than recording materials or mandibular positions determined the range of the positions of the mounted casts.The new interocclusal recording method ie a combination of impression material/stabilising tray in most cases can replace record rims and the number of appointments therefore can be reduced.
