Proper occlusal plane is an essential consideration to fabricate single complete maxillary denture. The determination of the occlusal plane can have profound effect on the short and long term success of a restorative case. To determine the appropriate occlusal curve for individual patients and to compare the deviation of the clinical occlusal curve with the ideal ones, we have fabricated customized BOPA. The inclination of occlusal plane straightly governs the balance of occlusion in complete denture. Any changes, even the slightest bit in the plane of occlusion will modify both the physical and functional relationship of the oral musculature, which will result in an alteration in the comfort, function as well as the aesthetic value.
