Improve mandibular complete denture stability by minimizing transverse forces with linear occlusion and a carefully selected occlusal plane. Utilizing a central bearing gothic arch tracing enhances jaw relation recording for better denture prostheses.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Prosthodontics
  • Biomechanical Engineering in Dentistry

Background:

  • Mandibular complete denture instability is a common clinical challenge.
  • Transverse forces significantly impact denture base stability.
  • Existing techniques may not fully address horizontal force vectors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a technique for enhancing mandibular complete denture stability.
  • To detail methods for reducing transverse forces on the denture base.
  • To introduce the use of specific occlusal schemes and jaw relation recording methods.

Main Methods:

  • Implementing linear (noninterceptive) occlusion to reduce transverse forces.
  • Selecting an occlusal plane designed to minimize horizontal force vectors.
  • Employing a central bearing intraoral gothic arch tracing for accurate jaw relation recording.

Main Results:

  • The described technique aims to provide stable complete denture prostheses.
  • Reduction of transverse and horizontal forces contributes to improved denture retention.
  • Accurate jaw relation recording is crucial for prosthetic success.

Conclusions:

  • The presented technique offers a method for achieving stable mandibular complete dentures.
  • Minimizing adverse occlusal forces and utilizing precise recording methods are key.
  • This approach can lead to improved patient function and satisfaction with complete dentures.
