Lingualized Occlusion – A Hope for Prosthodontist : Case Report

Abstract

As we all know that the success of complete denture restoration depends on the occlusion given in the specific patient, as occlusion plays a major role in retention, stability, support of the denture.  Occlusion is a very fine and complex topic to be taken into consideration while fabricating a complete denture.Occlusion has a considerable influence on the outcome of every Prosthodontic treatment modality. There are various occlusalschemes in the literature foe complete denture fabrication, but none of the one accepted universally. In patients with resorbed ridges, special care is to be taken for fabrication of complete denture occlusion, as there is less retention, stability and support. In order to overcome these problems lingualizedocclusal scheme has gained favor. So the success of a stable denture depends more on the occlusal scheme given on the denture.
