Centric relation and vertical dimension by cephalometric roentgenograms

Abstract

Cephalometric roentgenograms have a place in making artificial restorations. They are used for patients needing full restorations, partial restorations, and when making the so-called “bite raising” appliances. The object of this procedure is to present a scientific and exact method of determining rest and centric positions at the correct vertical dimension. Using this method, the measurements at vertical dimension made in making the restorations may be checked and rechecked, before, during, and after the completion of the restorations so that the vertical dimension may be changed or verified.
