CONCLUSIONS
In this article, the authors aim to highlight key points for clini- About the authors

itations as predictable as possible. Above all, they want to
demonstrate that these methods are not operator-dependent
but accessible to everyone.
There are several fundamental aspects of the treatment plan,
and we would like to present them in chronological order as a
kind of handbook:
• Registration in Reference Position in a non-repeatable way
necessitates a functional-aesthetic diagnostic wax-up
• Importance of using the facebow/articulator
• Mock-up in the oral cavity and Reference Position control
• Duplication of the wax-up to fabricate temporaries identical
to the mock-ups
• Placement of the temporaries in the oral cavity in the exact
position in which they were made in the laboratory, using sili-

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Last very important annotation:
to date we have achieved only
four removable protective works
with this technique and therefore
we must absolutely consider this
a case report. It's been almost two
years since cementation of the
first case and by checking and
relining the removable parts for
now, it has met our expectations,
but let's wait before giving this
solution absolute certainty.

always get the results best for all
