Telemetric comparison of centric relation and centric occlusion reconstructions

Two complete fixed prostheses built with the occlusion in centric relation and with occlusion in the subject's existing centric occlusal position were tested with telemetry under conditions of actual use. The findings indicate that the subject did not use the centric relation position but accepted the prosthesis built to her preexisting centric occlusion. These findings are consistent with our previous results of telemetric studies conducted on patients with three-unit fixed prostheses.
