A Path way to the Centric – Gothic Arch

Abstract

Clinical skill is the key for the correct establishment of the accurate and verifiable maxillomandibular records. With this skill comes the ability to create an occlusion that is harmonious, functional, and comfortable to the edentulous patient in need of prosthetic treatment. The article thereby reviews the most reliable method of recording the maxillomandibular relationship of the mandible in its posterior most position in the glenoid fossa. Keeping in mind the merits and demerits, the perfect Gothic arch tracing, is an art which combines the skill of the prosthodontist and patient cooperation along with it. Hence a good centric is a reflection of the tracing obtained from the patient.
