Abstract:
This chapter presents a method of measuring casts in a scientifically duplicatable manner, using the orthopedic relator to diagnose the plane of occlusion. This allows the practitioner to determine if occlusal equilibration is a viable treatment modality for a particular patient. For patients who do not meet the criteria for occlusal equilibration, a detailed technique for correcting the occlusal plane discrepancies through use of the orthopedic splint is presented.
