Abstract: Centric relation (CR) is the only stable position between maxilla and mandible. It is also a vital jaw relation during the reconstruction of a proper occlusion.CR is an important factor to occlusion, which is also closely related to prosthodontics, gnathology and orthodontics. CR has been a controversial subject for over a century. There is no consensus on the clear definition, the correct way to determine, and the appraisal method, which is very important for the clinical work. This review aims to review the controversial subjects mentioned above.

Key words: Centric relation, Occlusal reconstruction, Condyle
