Q

difference between natural and complete denture occlusion

A
  1. Natural teeth are suspended in the bone by PDL which acts as a shock absorber
  2. Denture teeth are part of the denture base which rests on movable/displaceable tissues
  3. Premature, deflective contacts between artificial teeth cause movement of the denture resulting in damage to the supporting tissues

Q

goals of complete denture occlusion

A
  1. limit trauma to supporting tissues
  2. preserve remaining structures
  3. create stability of dentures
  4. restore esthetics, speech and mastication (function)
