Occlusal parameters and wear of artificial teeth in complete dentures with lingualized versus bilateral balanced occlusion: a randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to assess the occlusal contact area (OCA), occlusal contact number (OCN), bite force, and artificial tooth wear in complete dentures with lingualized and bilateral balanced occlusion.

Methods

Edentulous participants who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were divided into the three groups as follows: group I, dentures with lingualized occlusion using interpenetrating polymer network artificial teeth; group II, dentures with lingualized occlusion using double cross-linked artificial teeth; and group III, dentures with bilateral balanced occlusion using anatomical micro-hybrid resin teeth. The silicone techniques were used to assess the OCA and OCN of the mandibular dentures and the Dental Prescale II was used to evaluate the bite force at the 2-week,
