When a facebow is not used, the maxillary cast is mounted arbitrarily on the articulator, meaning its position relative to the hinge axis is not accurate. Increasing the vertical dimension (VDO) on an arbitrarily mounted cast will cause a significant change in the horizontal relationship of the casts (centric relation) due to the arc of closure being incorrect. Therefore, a new interocclusal record must be taken at the new desired VDO.
