    Posterior Teeth Arrangement

    • Posterior teeth arrangement is also important for effective mastication and oral function
    • The arrangement is influenced by factors such as bite force and chewing patterns

    Articulator

    • An articulator is a device used to simulate jaw movements and test dental restorations
    • It helps to evaluate the fit and function of dentures and other prosthetic devices

    Centric Relation

    • Centric relation refers to the position of the mandible (lower jaw) in relation to the maxilla (upper jaw)
    • It is an important concept in dental prosthodontics, as it affects the fit and function of dentures

    Facebow

    • A facebow is a device used to record the relationship between the maxilla and the mandible
    • It helps to transfer the recorded information to an articulator for further analysis

    Guidelines for Artificial Teeth Arrangement

    • There are specific guidelines for arranging artificial teeth in dentures
    • These guidelines take into account factors such as aesthetics, functionality, and patient comfort

    Measuring Vertical Dimension

    • Measuring vertical dimension is an important step in dental prosthodontics
    • It involves recording the distance between the upper and lower jaws when the teeth are in contact

    Processing of Complete Denture

    • Processing of complete denture involves several steps, including impression taking, model fabrication, and denture construction
    • The goal is to create a well-fitting and functional denture that meets the patient's needs
