Effect of Occlusal Scheme on the Pressure Distribution of Complete Denture Supporting Tissues: An In Vitro Study

Effect of occlusal scheme on the pressure distribution of complete denture supporting tissues: An in vitro study. J Int Oral Health 2015;7 (Suppl 2):68-73. Background: The complete denture teeth arrangement that gives maximum denture stability, comfort, esthetics, and function have been studied since several years. Many occlusal schemes have been advised in which the lingualized occlusion, balanced occlusion, and monoplane occlusion are advocated most popularly. The purpose of this study was to compare the pressure values on the supporting tissue using three diff erent posterior occlusal schemes: Balanced occlusion, lingualized occlusion, and monoplane occlusion in simulated dentures Materials and Methods: The simulators used in this study, composed of the maxillary, and mandibular clear heat cure acryli
