Comparison of Interocclusal Contacts Registered Intraorally and After a Remount Procedure in Complete Denture Patients.

Abstract - Prosthodontists recommend a remount procedure for identification and correction of occlusal errors in complete dentures rather than the more common practice of placing articulating paper intra-orally, followed by ‘spotgrinding’ at the chair-side. There is no evidence to support this recommendation. The aim of this study was to compare the number and distribution of occlusal markings obtained using a remount procedure with those achieved using articulating paper intra-orally. 147 edentulous subjects with newly constructed complete dentures participated. In all cases the remount method produced a significantly lower number of occlusal contacts compared with articulating paper used intra-orally (p<0.001). The distribution of occlusal markings was also different between the remount and intra-oral methods. These results suggest that, for complete dentures, articulating paper used intra-orally is inaccurate compared with a remount procedure.
