Too many adjustments on the dental work?

Take a new panoramic X-ray or reevaluate the most recently taken one! Compare the vertical dimensions of the two temporomandibular joint condyles on the Ramus tangent. If they are not of equal height, start all over again and choose the higher condyle as the guide for your registration of the mandibular position to be used in the rehabilitation. In my opinion there is no other way to get the problem solved.
Merry Christmas and hopefully much less frustration and less adjustments in the Happy New Year!
