Decision of Esthetic Occlusal Plane

—Removable Full Arch Fixed Bridge Made by Titanium Alloy (Magnet and Keeper Built Intra-Coronaly) —

Abstract

In recent years, dental application of titanium has been extensively studied, and clinically applied. We developed and clinically used a conus type removable bridge with a magnetic attachment. In this method, occlusion is especially important. To provide an appropriate mode of occlusion in each case, functional diagnosis of occlusion was made in an early stage. An esthetical and functional occlusal plane was determined, and temporary occlusion was confirmed. In the articulator, face bow transfer, which allows reproduction of the face image, was performed. We report a patient in whom occlusal reconstruction was performed with titanium·magnet crowns (T. M crowns) by this procedure.
