Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Occlusal prematurities significantly disrupt complete denture stability and retention.
  • The interconnected nature of artificial teeth within a denture base amplifies the impact of single occlusal interferences.
  • Effective denture base stabilization is a prerequisite for successful occlusal equilibration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simplified, step-by-step approach for equilibrating complete dentures.
  • To demonstrate the utility of an intraoral central bearing point tracing device in achieving denture stability.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of lingualized occlusion in managing occlusal forces in complete dentures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing an intraoral central bearing point tracing device for dynamic jaw relation recording.
