It is considered as the maximum intercuspal position to that in which the teeth of the upper and lower arch have maximum contact. For the occlusion is stable and will not damage or the periodontium or the structures of the temporomandibular joint, this “maximum intercuspal” must match “centric occlusion.” This is as close as possible to “centric relation.”
