<p>Applying functionally generated path to restore a terminal restoration in group function<br>Major Kyung S. Kim, DC, USA, and Captain Craig Neitzke, DC, USN<br><br>Introduction<br>Group function occlusion is sometimes beneficial in fixed prosthodontics. Group function restorations are more clinically demanding than mutually protected occlusal schemes. When simplified instrumentation is used, semi-adjustable or straight line articulators, excessive adjustment is often necessary at delivery. Fully adjustable articulators can be used, but these are time-consuming and errors can incorporated if they are not used regularly.<br><br>The functionally generated path (FGP) is a simple concept for recording and using a precise pattern for occlusal and border movements. In 1933, Meyer described techniques that allow the dentist to use the patient’s mandibular movement to carve an occlusal surface. Many authors have refined FGP methods. The original Pankey-Mann technique relied on a functionally generated path to create a balanced occlusion.
