10. The supporting pin plate is heated and immersed in the
wax wall until the registration pin in regio 15/25 is posi-
tioned at the height of the occlusal level and lies vertical. The
wax wall is to be reduced such that there is no longer any
contact between the upper and lower wax wall during the
movements. Create notches to help with keying (Fig. 2).

11. Place the registration template in the mouth of the
patient. Only the registration pin and registration template
may touch each other during the registration procedure.
While sitting in the upright position, the patient is instruct-
ed to move his mandible as far to the left as possible and
then back to the center while the pin and registration plate
are touching. This procedure is also repeated on the right
side two to three times. The patient is then asked to move
his mandible to the front and back. This exercise is to pre-
pare the patient for the actual bite registration procedure.
Attention: to avoid injury due to the pen, the patient must
be instructed to place his/her tongue under the pen plate
or in dorsal direction.
