A simplified technique for making an interocclusal record in fixed prosthodontics

A technique for using flowable composite resin for making interocclusal records in cases involving fixed prosthodontics is described. The precise relation of maxillary and mandibular casts is an essential step in developing accurate occlusion in fixed prosthodontics. This technique consists of direct intraoral fabrication of transfer copings and an interocclusal record using flowable, light-activated composite resin. The technique is simple, does not require advance preparation and can be done during the final impression appointment.
