Use of linear occlusion with fixed restorations opposing a mandibular complete denture: a clinical report

Gen Dent. 2003 May-Jun;51(3):274-9; quiz 280.

Abstract

Restoring an edentulous mandibular arch opposing maxillary natural dentition with conventional occlusal schemes historically has proven to be extremely difficult. Using a noninterceptive anterior and posterior occlusal concept with a myostatic peripheral border extent provides a means to enhance stability of the mandibular prosthesis.
