[The functional value of complete dentures depending on the arrangement of the artificial teeth]

Adhesion, functional adhesion, and observation of mechanical regularities during repair of dentition in patients with complete loss of teeth ensure stability of complete dentures and, hence, their functional value. Since functional adhesion is frequently impossible to provide as far as it concerns the lower denture, such dentures are always liable to the action of dumping force. The authors describe a method for making artificial teeth of complete removable dentures with due consideration for the individual force of occlusion of the jaws and the teeth inclination angle determined individually for each patient.
