Abstract
The edentulous state represents a compromise in the integrity of the masticatory system . The common
treatment option for rehabilitation of edentulous state is the conventional complete denture. Occlusal paths and Cuspal
paths generated on the mechanical articulator often differ from those that are actually generated in the mouth . Functionally
generated path technique is one such approach which aids in the automatic determination of the geometric harmonious
relation between the functional occlusal path and condylar paths at chosen vertical dimension . This technique permits the
registration of the cusp movements as determined by the functional mandibular movements and thus helps in development
of harmonious occlusion. This article describes a case report in which a step by step approach was used to develop
functionally generated occlusal path in fabricating a complete denture.
