Thus every change in vertical causes a change in the relative transverse position of the mandible to the maxilla (centric relation).24 Presumably, one would have to take a new centric record with every change in vertical, if a facebow has not been employed for orientation of occlusal plane on articulator.6 Fayed et al suggested that face-bow procedures should not only be advocated but also be made mandatory because of the usefulness in reducing occlusal errors especially when anatomical teeth are used.4 Several investigators have recognized the significance of accurately establishing the sagittal inclination of the maxillary cast on the articulator for correct RCD function and esthetics.26
