Occlusion is a critical component in any aspect of prosthodontic care including that related to the treatment of dentate, partially dentate, or edentulous patients. When complete dentures are fabricated for an edentulous patient, occlusion has a considerable influence on the outcome of treatment. Due to the relative simplicity involved in development of a lingualized occlusal scheme by dental laboratory technicians, this approach has gained favor among practitioners who are able to evaluate and/or correct tooth arrangements for complete dentures. This article will highlight the influences of a lingualized tooth arrangement in complete denture occlusion as it relates to improving edentulous patients' function and quality of life; it will also demonstrate a predictable approach to achieving lingualized occlusion in complete denture prosthodontics.
The single maxillary denture is a complex prosthesis that requires a complete understanding of the basics of denture occlusion. Theilemann's formula must be applied to each individual patient, and appropriate treatment must be taken to assure complete balance in all excursive movements. The basic principles of retention, stability, and support should not to be taken for granted, and steps must be completed so that all components are working in harmony for success of the maxillary denture. Treatment of various patients has been illustrated to allow the reader to comprehend better the modalities that can be employed for preparing the oral environment before denture insertion thereby ensuring better success in treating these classes of patients.
