Clinicians often feel they have the correct centric relation when they insert new dentures BUT….
Most patients present with worn denture teeth and over closed vertical dimension, giving a habitual centric occlusion. This centric occlusion is often built into the new dentures, even with the restored vertical dimension.
This generally results in patients having trouble adapting to the new vertical dimension, cusp shape and position as they eventually lose their habitual centric occlusion, requiring adjustments and grind in’s.
Using gothic arch tracing with our OzTracer is simple and very effective, as it helps restore vertical dimension and centric relation, reducing patient discomfort and adjustments.
OzTracer CAD is a patient and clinician friendly design adapted to the digital world. The new design allows more tongue room and easier access to the adjustment screws.
