Hi everybody from Germany,
i'm fairly new in fixed prosthodontics and i'm trying to overcome problems with hyperocclusion in crowns and bridges.
The impressions coming from the dentist are with impregum/permadyne and alginate. Bites are made with stonebite and there is a occlusion protocol.
Sawed models are made with a resin baseplate and both models are made with high quality plaster. The models are set into an articulator with articulating plaster and the occlusion protocol is transferred via reducing the plaster of the model. The front pin (i dont know what's the correct word in english) shows around -0,5 after that.
But theres still a lot of drilling for the dentist to achieve perfect static occlusion, wich takes a lot of time.
Can you explain me your strategies to avoid hyperocclusion or maybe any mistakes that I make in my working protocol?
Thank you very much[/
Try solid model and see if your problem goes away. If not then it is not the articulation.
