Abstract

Interocclusal recording for removable partial denture in bilateral mandibular distal extension were evaluated for the differences of the interocclusal recording material utilized during different impression techniques. The purpose of this study is to develop interocclusal recording utilizing occlusion rims with high accuracy. The intraoral model with urethane rubber mucosa with 3 metallic spheres as measuring points was utilized. With the applied pressure (functional) and minimum pressure (anatomical) impression techniques, working casts were fabricated. Interocclusal recording was registered with the occlusion rim on the intraoral model unto the articulator by applying the interocclusal materials; paraffin wax (PW), ALUWAX (AW), impression paste (IP) and Exabite II (EB). Analyses were conducted with the three-dimensional analyzer and calculated for the amount of vertical and antero-posterior displacement between the intraoral model and the working cast. The results were that PW had the greatest displacement, especially with the functional impression technique, while AW had minimum displacement especially in the posterior direction. With the functional impression technique utilizing AW was revealed to minimize the amount of interocclusal displacement.
