Abstract
A method is described for remolding and correctly restoring abraded posterior denture teeth. By adding a layer of paraffin wax for jaw registration, the dentist can repeat the registration procedure until the proper jaw relation is established. This wax occlusal record is used as a guide during the remolding, and is incrementally replaced by autopolymerizing resin.
