   Wax rims are devices that are used in dentistry to help in the fabrication of removable prostheses, such as complete and partial dentures.

The wax is ...

6. Complete denture occlusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_denture_occlusion

   When exploring different complete denture occlusal schemes, it is more useful to define occlusion as the relative movement of one object to another viz the dynamic relationship between mandible to the maxillae during function. Bilateral balanced occlusion and non-balanced occlusion are two separate entities that make up complete denture occlusion.

7. Neutral zone (dentistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_zone_(dentistry)

   Prostheses which set teeth outside this zone risk problems such as discomfort, cheek or tongue biting, and instability of the denture. The neutral zone is also important in orthodontics. Moving teeth outside of this zone means that the muscular forces on the teeth will be out of balance in one direction, and tend to be more likely to relapse to ...
