centric occlusion may or may not coincide with the maximal intercuspal position
maximal intercuspal position

retruded contact position
retruded contact position is the most blank contact of occluding teeth

x ray film on one side of the face the source on the other
cephalometric
x ray source to the midline of face measurement
60 inches
