   The inclination of the condyle path is the factor that can be recorded from the patient. It is registered using protrusive registration. Patient is instructed to protrude the mandible with the occlusal rims. Inter-occlusal record material is injected between the occlusal rims in this position. Then the occlusal rim with the record is transferred to the articular. This influence the shape of the posterior teeth. During protrusive movement, the mesial inclines of mandibular cusps contact the distal inclines of maxillary cusps. If the incisal guidance is steep, steep occlusal plane is needed to produce balanced occlusion.
