English term or phrase: to close the teeth into centric position

En un folleto sobre colocación de rebases en dentaduras:

"Apply xxx silicone to the denture base to coat the entire cut-out surface by 2-3 mm and seat the denture in the patient’s mouth within 1 minute (at 23°C or 74°F) as material starts to set immediately.

a) Direct Chairside Application: Seat the denture and guide the patient **to close the teeth into centric position**. After 4-5 min. the silicone is fully set and the denture is removed from the mouth. Remove the liner from the denture, trim off excess flash material with fine scissors and replace the liner in the denture."

¿Me pueden ayudar a entender la expresión? Muchas gracias nuevamente

oclusión en relación céntrica

Explanation:
Hola, Yvonne:

Centric position se refiere a una manera de cerrar los dientes en la que el cóndilo mandibular se ubica en la parte más superior y media dentro de la cavidad glenoidea (relación céntrica). Yo he oído relación céntrica e incluso oclusión céntrica, aunque posición céntrica no mucho. Espero haber podido aclararte algo, aunque el tema de la oclusión es enrevesado como él solo.
