Abstract: Precise articulation of casts obtained from the patient is essential for proper diagnosis, treatment planning and successive prosthetic rehabilitation. In addition accurate transfer of maxillomandibular relation to the articulator eliminates the need for occlusal adjustments in final prosthesis, which require additional time and cost. Thus, it is essential to record this relationship with the least possible error to obtain a successful prosthesis. Knowledgeable application of the properties and the various shortcomings of the interocclusal recording mediums and the techniques used to record the relationship is crucial, while selecting ideal material- technique combination.
