Abstract
A technique for making occlusion rims that provide a definite guide for the arrangement of the teeth for dentures has been described. Its use will make possible the accurate reproduction of the appearance of the natural teeth. If changes are desired, these occlusion rims serve as a basis for comparison and for evaluation of the proposed changes. The gingival line and labial tissue contours may be reproduced accurately. The procedure maintains the same jaw relations as existed before the teeth were removed, and these can be reproduced in the dentures, if desired. If enough teeth were present when the pre-extraction records were made, the occlusal facets on the teeth can be used to adjust the articulator guidances. This procedure makes the fullest possible use of pre-extraction records which should be standard in modern dental practice.
