Centric Relation: All Methods of Registration and Clinical Application - Dentistry eBooks

Course Overview

Centric relation is one of the most debated concepts in dentistry, and this course — presented by Jean-Daniel Orthlieb, Lukas Lassmann, Michael Miyasaki, Mike Racich, Marcelo Matos, and Kamil Stefański — sets out to cover it comprehensively rather than favoring a single school of thought. Rather than presenting one preferred registration method, the course surveys the full range of classical and digital approaches used across different clinical disciplines.

The curriculum works through the evolution of the centric relation concept itself, alongside registration techniques such as bimanual manipulation, the Dawson maneuver, the Lucia jig, and both wax and digital bite registration methods — including their typical mistakes and the correct workflow sequence for each. Treatment planning is addressed specifically for how centric relation applies differently in orthodontic versus prosthodontic contexts, including its role in aligner treatment and TMJ-related cases.

Across 9 videos and 11 hours of content, the course is designed to leave practitioners equipped to choose the CR registration approach best suited to a given case rather than defaulting to a single method regardless of context.
