Private practice, Plano, TX.

In complete denture fabrication, the definitive maxillary cast is mounted on an articulator using a facebow transfer or mounting jig, and the mandibular cast is mounted using an interocclusal record. The technique presented describes an easy and inexpensive method for fabrication of a mounting jig and rigid cast supports for mounting complete dentures.
