Abstract:
Accurate determination of the inclination of the occlusal plane is important in a number of situations, and includes confirming the correct development of the dentition in children, providing a basis for nonanatomic tooth design in the preparation of fixed prostheses, and assisting in decisions as to whether to perform intrusions or extrusions. This article describes a simple device for determination of the inclination of the occlusal plane.
