Abstract

Two factors which are of vital importance in the practice of prosthodontics will be considered in this discussion. They are (1) the physiologic vertical dimension and (2) the centric relation at the natural vertical dimension. Also, three methods used for determining these positions in the average normal patient will be compared: (1) the bruxism method for determining centric relation; (2) the statistical average method for measuring the interocclusal distance; (3) the physiologic method for determining both positions from the function of swallowing saliva.
