[Original method for total edentulous rehabilitation based on Ludwigs technique. 3. Final impression and functional record of intermaxillary relations].

Abstract

In the technique described, the search for the peripheral joint and the final impressions are really functional and rely on adapted silicone impression materials. The vertical dimension is investigated physiologically (speech/swallowing). The recording of the centric relation is confirmed graphically with a centric pin. Thus, the patient transcribes his "occlusal signature" and provides both the practitioner and the dental technician with precise data for the mounting of denture teeth.
