[Development of occlusion and function during 2 years following the insertion of partial dentures]

The development of occlusion and function after the treatment with removable partial dentures was continuously observed during a period of 2 years. The high ratio of clinical symptoms in patients without subjective feeling of functional disorders was remarkably reduced one week after insertion of the dentures, but nearly reached the original value during the control period. In about 70% of all free-end partials nonocclusion was found.
