Dentists use arbitrary methods in determining the vertical dimension of occlusion, and arranging the maxillary anterior teeth. Some dentists have difficulty in making maxillomandibular records for completely edentulous patients. Therefore the use of pre-extraction records has been recommended. This article reviews the pre-extraction records proposed for determining the vertical dimension of occlusion, recording centric relation, and arranging the maxillary anterior teeth. A MEDLINE search, from 1966-2002, for the key words "pre-extraction records" was supplemented with a hand search to identify relevant peer-reviewed English articles published in dental journals. On the basis of the review, it appeared that pre-extraction records proposed for determining the original vertical dimension of occlusion and arranging the maxillary anterior teeth for a completely edentulous patient were useful and preferred to arbitrary methods, whereas pre-extraction records proposed for recording centric relation may not be necessary.
牙医在确定咬合垂直距离以及排列上颌前牙时采用的是主观方法。一些牙医在为全口无牙患者制作上下颌记录时存在困难。因此，有人建议使用拔牙前记录。本文回顾了为确定咬合垂直距离、记录正中关系以及排列上颌前牙而提出的拔牙前记录。通过对1966年至2002年期间MEDLINE数据库中以“拔牙前记录”为关键词的检索，并辅以手工检索，以识别发表在牙科期刊上的相关同行评审英文文章。基于该综述，对于为全口无牙患者确定原始咬合垂直距离和排列上颌前牙而提出的拔牙前记录似乎是有用的，且优于主观方法，而对于记录正中关系而提出的拔牙前记录可能并非必要。
