“…No differences in outcomes were found in either of these studies, both of which were wellconducted randomised controlled trial. 8,32 The earlier study undertaken by Hickey in 1969 has the benefit of a series of follow-up studies which supported the initial findings. It is worth noting that the dentures in these studies were constructed by or under the close supervision of experienced prosthodontists.…”

An extensive search for randomised controlled clinical trials was accomplished to compare dental prostheses and occlusal splints constructed with or without face-bow transfer, and question whether face-bow transfer may present better clinical results than simpler approaches. Studies were identified by searching electronic databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Latin American and Caribbean Literature on the Health Science, and Brazilian Bibliography of Dentistry). The keywords 'dental articulator', 'semi-adjustable articulator', 'face-bow', 'jaw relation record' and 'occlusal splint therapy' were used. The minimum inclusion requirements were (i) randomised controlled trials with patients of any age, (ii) comparison between dental prostheses or occlusal splints constructed with or without face-bow transfer and (iii) assessment of clinician's time, number of occlusal contacts, patient satisfaction or masticatory function. The search resulted in the identification of 8779 articles. Subsequently, 8763 articles were excluded on the basis of title and abstract. By the end of the search phase, eight randomised controlled trials were considered eligible. Current scientific evidence suggests that face-bow transfer is not imperative to achieve better clinical results in prosthodontics. Randomised clinical trials suggest that simpler approaches for the construction of complete dentures and occlusal splints may present acceptable results, while no clinical study has investigated its use in fixed and removable partial dentures.

“…The quality of complete dentures was not reported to suffer when manufacturing techniques were simplified to save time and materials. A well‐designed and well‐conducted series of studies showed no significant difference in outcome between dentures constructed by the two techniques, with or without use of face‐bow, either in the short term or in the long term, when evaluated by both professionals and patients (22–24). The use of proper methods other than the face‐bow record, such as the impression procedure that permits a more accurate and more applicable procedure or creating a good relationship between dentists and patients, are thought to be more appropriate for a successful outcome of a complete denture treatment (25, 26).…”

The aim of this study was to assess the use of and attitudes towards a face-bow among Chinese prosthodontists in complete denture fabrication. Thirty-six prosthodontists in two dental hospitals affiliated separately to two of the top four dental schools in China were included. A questionnaire was sent to them with 18 questions covering the following four aspects: (i) the education and experience background of the prosthodontists, (ii) their impression of the quality of the dentures, (iii) the use of and attitudes towards a face-bow in complete denture fabrication and (iv) their understanding of jaw relationship and occlusal adjustment in complete denture fabrication. Most (97%) experienced Chinese prosthodontists seldom used a face-bow in complete denture fabrication. Although they (92%) believed that more than 90% of their edentulous patients were satisfied with the complete dentures, 39% of them thought that not using a face-bow might lower the quality of complete dentures and 94% believed that there was a difference between the quality of dentures fabricated with an adjustable articulator and those made with a simple articulator. Among the 36 prosthodontists, 75% often and 8% occasionally did the occlusal adjustment when giving the newly made dentures to their patients. The great majority of prosthodontists in two of top four Chinese dental hospitals, who believed most of their patients satisfied with their complete dentures, seldom used a face-bow. Occlusal adjustment may be helpful to eliminate the possible errors caused by not using a face-bow.
