Intraoral central bearing tracing has been shown to be a predictable way of recording and verifying centric relation position for patients. Existing tracing devices are challenging to use due to several significant clinical limitations. In comparison to commercially available counterparts, this article presents a technique that simplifies instrumentation and clinical steps to make an intraoral tracer for making centric relation records, determining occlusal vertical dimension, and detecting deflective occlusal contacts in edentulous patients.
