Abstract
Among the examinations related to prosthetic dentistry, gothic arch tracing is applied for deciding horizontal jaw position. Check bite taking is applied for deciding the condyle path inclination measurement of the semi- adjustable articulator. In the clinical steps of complete denture construction in our department, gothic arch is taken after deciding the vertical dimension and mounting the working cast to the articulator. Check bite taking is taken after finishing upper and lower complete dentures. In this study, we tried simultaneous recording of both methods. Gothic arch was traced using an intraoral gothic arch tracer and then a bite record of centric relation and three of eccentric records such as protrusion, right and left laterotrusions were taken. This method is very useful because it is simple hand skill for dentists and is able to reduce chair time and visiting frequency of patients.
