As I am sure you know, the definition of Centric Relation as regards a verifiable and repeatable condylar position within the glenoid fossa has been a source of some considerable debate. I am curious as to how you regard the definition of Centric Relation as presented by Dr. Peter Dawson in his works, including his latest Functional Occlusion: From TMJ to Smile Design eliminating the term "posterior". I am relatively new to the study of occlusion, and I am interested in thoughts regarding Dr. Dawson, the Las Vegas Institute, and others with whom I am not yet familiar. Thank you.
