[The construction of plates for intraoral registration with photopolymerizing resins. An original method]

The recording of maxillo-mandibular relationships using Gothic arch assembly in dentulous subjects is useful not only in prosthetic rehabilitation, but also in the analysis of mandibular range of motion on patients with temporomandibular disorders. The traditional methodology to assemble Gothic arch plate is too long and elaborate, so it is remitted to the laboratory. This study describes a quick and simplified technique utilizing photopolymerizing resins which can be used by the dentist in his own office, in order to permit a greater use in the clinical practice.
