[Original conception of polymerized diagnostic wax-up in an occlusal rehabilitation of distal unilateral edentulous by combined prosthesis].

Rehabilitation by combined prosthesis is a therapy that requires a methodical approach especially in the case of large unilateral edentulous when all occlusal parameters are to be restored. The recording of the maxilla-mandibular position is requested at various stages of the treatment. In this context, the use of polymerized diagnostic wax up, is an evident tool for accurately recording and transfer of all occlusal data previously validated, yet concerning the global rehabilitation of unilateral distal edentulous, its stability and exact re-positioning at various prosthetic sequences remain uncertain. The aim of this study was to develop an original conception of the polymerized diagnostic wax up that will allow us to benefit from all its advantages in complex rehabilitation of edentulous unilateral of large extent.
