Selective grinding for equilibration of complete dentures is most accurate when the dentures are:

Soaked in water
Rearticulated with a new series of jaw relation records
Placed in the mouth without adhesive
Cleaned thoroughly

The correct answer is: Rearticulated with a new series of jaw relation records

Selective grinding for equilibration of complete dentures is a process in which the occlusal surfaces of the dentures are adjusted to create an even and balanced bite. This is particularly important for dentures that are not fitting properly or causing discomfort for the patient. Soaking the dentures in water or cleaning them thoroughly may help with the fitting process, but it is not directly related to the accuracy of selective grinding. Placing the dentures in the mouth without adhesive may also help with the grinding process, but it is not the most accurate option. The most accurate option for selective grinding is to rearticulate the dentures with a new series of jaw relation records, which allows for precise adjustment of the occlusal surfaces. This ensures that the dentures fit comfortably and function properly for the patient.
