The Lucia Jig helps obtain centric relation by de-programming muscles and allowing the condyles to seat in the most superior position teeth it allows the lateral pterygoid to release, and when the lateral pterygoid releases, the condyle seats it's that simple.

For this procedure, ACU-fl ow is used. It is a syringeable poly vinyl siloxane material with a 15 second working time, 45 second intra-oral setting time, and a maximum total cure time of 1 minute. Once set, it is extremely hard without being brittle, trims like acrylic, and remains dimensionally stable making it ideal to send to the Lab.

Selecting the right Lucia Jig is based on the vertical opening of the posterior teeth. Use the standard (Class I) jig to determine the vertical opening. If there are several millimeters (more than 2.5 mm) between the posterior teeth, use the Class II jig to reduce the vertical opening. For patients with very irregular mandibular incisors, use the Lucia Jig on the lower incisors. It will function in the same way against the maxillary incisors.
