This article describes a clinical protocol for the occlusal rehabilitation of patients with severe Angle skeletal Class II malocclusions. Within this protocol, an occlusal device is used for 2 purposes: first, to locate the most suitable maxillary-mandibular relationship for function and range of motion at an established vertical dimension of occlusion; and second, to accurately transfer this relationship to an articulator for fabrication of provisional and definitive restorations. The theory behind this protocol and its associated clinical procedures is presented along with a discussion of the protocol's advantages and disadvantages.
本文介绍了一种针对严重安氏Ⅱ类骨性错牙合患者进行牙合重建的临床方案。在此方案中，使用一种牙合装置有两个目的：第一，在既定的咬合垂直距离下确定最适合功能和运动范围的上颌-下颌关系；第二，将这种关系准确转移至牙合架，以制作临时和最终修复体。本文介绍了该方案及其相关临床操作背后的理论，并讨论了该方案的优缺点。
