RESEARCH

The reproducibility of centric relation: a clinical approach

This study addresses the reproducibility of the centric relation, or CR, position. Using bimanual manipulation, several dentists were randomly assigned to one of five patients to clinically determine CR and record this position by using the same wax recording technique. These bite records, which were then analyzed by using the Denar Centri-Check marking system (Teledyne Water-Pik), were found to capture condylar positions with a maximum variation of 0.1 millimeter, as measured within the tolerances of the Denar Centri-Check.
