Abstract
This article describes a technique for recording the maxilla’s orientation in esthetically
driven oral rehabilitation and transferring its position by using computer-aided design
and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology. The protocol uses a Fox plane
and a bubble level to orient an addition silicone key of the maxilla parallel to the
occlusal reference plane. The silicone reference key was scanned, superimposed over
the maxilla intraoral standard tessellation language (STL) file, and adequately oriented
in a CAD software program.
