For a patient with new complete dentures, errors in centric occlusion are best adjusted by

having the patient close in centric occlusion and making a transfer record to the articulator

remounting the dentures in the articulator using remount casts and new interocclusal records.

directing the patient to close the jaws, bringing the teeth into occlusion.

having the patient leave the dentures out of the mouth for 24 hours.
