Recording the maxillomandibular relationship is often a challenge. In situations where there is vertical support but no horizontal stability, and the space between posterior teeth of opposing jaws is not adequate for an interocclusal record, impression plaster can be used. Despite limited clinical use, impression plaster is known for its stability. With this technique, the interocclusal record is obtained by applying the material to the buccal surfaces of the posterior teeth, resulting in a precise and stable cast relationship.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
