INTEROCCLUSAL RECORDING MATERIALS - A DILEMMA

INTEROCCLUSAL RECORDING MATERIALS FORM AN IMPORTANT PART OF PROSTHODONTICS FOR RESTORATION PURPOSES. ALTHOUGH MOUTH IS STILL CONSIDERED THE BEST ARTICULATOR CREATED SO FAR BUT STILL IT IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE TO WORK IN PATIENT''S MOUTH FOR A LONG PERIOD. HENCE THE ARTICULATORS WERE INVENTED FOR THE SAME. THESE ARTICULATORS ALONG WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF INTEROCCLUSAL RECORDING MATERIALS ARE USED TO RECORD THE VARIOUS INTEROCCLUSAL RELATIONSHIPS OF THE MAXILLARY AND MANDIBULAR TEETH. THIS STUDY CAN BE OF GREAT HELP TO UNDERGRADUATE AS WELL AS POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS DURING THEIR STUDY AT DENTAL SCHOOLS.
