Abstract
The rehabilitation by complete removable denture is commonly used for edentulous patients. The respect of operating procedures represents the main condition for therapeutic success.
Among these procedures, the determination and the orientation of occlusal plane remain an important step to respect minutely
Indeed, it is one of the most stages for obtaining an optimal smile esthetic, a facial harmony and improve the oral functions.
Various technics were reported by many authors: anatomical, radiographic, and physiologic methods such as piezography and Paterson technic.
This later consists on the determination of the individualized occlusal plane according to the registration of physiological movements.
In this context, we will describe Paterson method via a case report and discuss its feasibility, clinical effectiveness as well as its advantages compared to others technics.
