setup with a template
Align the template with the height of the distal third of the retromolar pad in the posterior region
and the height of the distal angle of the mandibular canines in the anterior region.
The template ensures that the anterior-posterior (curve
of Spee) and medio-lateral compensating curve (curve
of Wilson) are taken into account. The compensating
curves of the natural dentition are essential for bilateral
balanced group guidance.
When viewed from an occlusal perspective, the central
fossae of the mandibular posterior teeth are positioned
over the crest of the alveolar ridge. The lingual border
of the posterior setup is defined by Pound's line.
Pound's line extends from the mesial corner of the
mandibular canine to the lingual border of the
trigonum on the same side.
The markings on the template assist in achieving a
symmetrical setup. Begin the setup of the mandibular
teeth by positioning the first premolars, followed by
the second premolars, first molars and then second
molars.
Note that both the buccal cusp tips and mesio-lingual
cusps make contact to the template.
The vertical axes of the first and second molars are auto-
matically aligned in the process. Viewed from the buccal
side, the axes of the first and second premolars should be
aligned perpendicular to the template.
