This document discusses establishing occlusal relationships for removable partial dentures (RPDs). It defines key terms and outlines factors that influence developing occlusion. Methods for establishing jaw relations are described, including using occlusion rims and recording occlusal pathways dynamically to achieve functional harmony with surrounding structures. The functionally generated path method and articulator method for registering occlusal pathways are explained. Considerations for arranging teeth on an RPD opposing a maxillary complete denture are provided. The document concludes with references.

occlusal pathways:

48. "Observing the occlusion with the teeth in static relations and then
moving the mandible into various eccentric positions is not sufficient.
A dynamic concept is necessary to produce an occlusion that is in
functional harmony with the facial skeleton, musculature, and the
temporomandibular joints.“ By adding "and with the remaining natural
teeth" the requirements for RPD occlusion are more completely
defined.
