FUNCTIONALLY GENERATED PATH TECHNIQUE- A PROSTHODONTIC REVIEW
Abstract
Functionally generated path technique utilizes a different approach to achieve occlusal harmony between restoration and the other teeth in the oral cavity. Rather than using an articulator to simulate the movement of the mandible, this technique uses a tracing made directly in the mouth to capture the pathways travelled by the opposing cusps during mandibular function. This article discusses about functonally generated path technique in detail.
