Study Contrasts Lingualized vs. Bilateral Balanced Occlusion in Complete Dentures

Posted: November 19, 2024
This randomized clinical trial compared the occlusal parameters and wear of artificial teeth in complete dentures with lingualized and bilateral balanced occlusion. The study found that group III with bilateral balanced occlusion had a higher occlusal contact area and bite force compared to groups I and II with lingualized occlusion. Additionally, groups I and II exhibited higher wear on artificial teeth compared to Group III after 12 months. The study highlights the importance of considering occlusal schemes in complete dentures to optimize occlusal contact area, bite force, and artificial tooth wear.
