Abstract
The Gothic arch tracing method using a Gothic arch tracer which is one of the centric relation recording methods can reproduce mandibular movement more accurately by describing the path of mandibular curvilinear motion. This case reports that we have satisfactory results by recording reproducible centric relation using a gothic arch tracing method in a patient who has difficulty to induce centric relation by operator due to parafunctional movement.
