Abstract:
Lingualized articulation has been advocated by many practitioners over the past 60 years. It can be achieved using a variety of tooth molds arranged in a number of ways that seem to provide the least complicated approach to occlusal rehabilitation and to satisfy the needs of the edentulous patient. Clinical experience has supported its use during functional and nonfunctional activities [17, 18]. The different combinations of tooth molds available from one particular tooth manufacturer, and now specific molds designed for lingualized articulation by other manufacturers, allows the practitioner to improve the likelihood of maximal intercuspation, avoid deflective occlusal contacts, determine cusp height for selective occlusal reshaping, and achieve a natural and pleasing appearance. The articulation and arrangement of the posterior teeth in lingualized articulation assures a standardized arrangement.

Tooth Anatomy
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.

Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...
