Implementation of Functionally Generated Path Technique in Fabrication of a Balanced Complete Denture Prosthesis: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
The treatment of the edentulous state is one of the most challenging to the dental practitioner. The conventional complete dentures are the most common treatment option for rehabilitation of the edentulous state. Occlusal paths and Cuspalpaths generated on the mechanical articulator often differ from those that are actually generated in the mouth. Functionally generated path technique is one such approach which aids in the automatic determination of the geometric harmonious relation between the functional occlusal path and condylar paths at chosen vertical dimension. This technique permits the registration of the cusp movements as determined by the functional mandibular movements and thus helps in development of harmonious occlusion. This article describes a case report in which a step by step approach was used to develop functionally generated occlusal path in fabricating a complete denture. Keywords: Functionally generated path, Bees wax, Stone path.
