“…9 Five studies found positive effect in terms of satisfaction or quality of life for LO, 3,21,27-29 perhaps because enables more efficient bolus penetration than BBO, 28 or because LO presents less occlusal interference and surface contacts between the maxillary and mandibular teeth and, consequently, fewer mandibular denture loadings and dislodging during lateroprotrusion movements. 3,33,34 Furthermore, LO should be considered a favorable occlusal scheme because present lower physical pain compared to BBO 27 , especially for patients with a severely reabsorbed mandibular alveolar ridge (<20 mm), because it provides better mandibular denture retention and a lower chance of pain than BBO. 21 However, in this study, 21 the authors used porcelain teeth in their BBO scheme and hard resin teeth in their LO scheme;…”

No consensus has been reached regarding the best occlusal scheme for making complete dentures. Thus, the purpose of this systematic review was to compare bilateral balanced occlusion (BBO) with other occlusal schemes (canine guidance, lingualised occlusion and zero degree) in complete dentures. The schemes were compared in terms of quality of life/satisfaction and masticatory performance. Two independent reviewers performed a comprehensive search of studies published in or before October 2017 using the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases. The search was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. The focused question was: "In conventional complete denture, is BBO better than lingualised occlusion, canine guidance and zero degree in terms of quality of life, patient satisfaction and masticatory performance/muscle activity?" Seventeen studies were selected for analysis. In total, there were 492 patients with a mean age of 64.78 years and a mean follow-up duration of 2.96 months (range: 1-6 months). All studies compared BBO with the other occlusal schemes. Eleven studies evaluated the influence of the occlusal scheme designs on quality of life and satisfaction, and 8 studies evaluated masticatory performance and muscle activity between BBO and the other occlusion schemes. The present systematic review indicated that BBO does not confer better quality of life/satisfaction or masticatory performance and muscle activity. Thus, lingualised occlusion can be considered a predictable occlusal scheme for complete dentures in terms of quality of life/satisfaction and masticatory performance, while canine guidance can be used to reduce muscular activity.

“…All had been informed that those who were to receive conventional dentures would be eligible for implant treatment if their problems had not been resolved after one year of denture-wearing Treatment groups Treatment had been carried out according to routine procedures for the provision of a new maxillary denture and a new mucosa-borne, conventional mandibular denture, or for an implant-mucosa-borne mandibular overdenture retained by two permucosal cylindric IMZ implants (Kirsch and Mentag, 1986) through a single barclip attachment, or a mainly implant-borne mandibular overdenture retained by a transmandibular implant (Bosker, 1986) through five clips on a triple-bar construction with cantilever extensions. Porcelain teeth were used (OptiformO, ENTA-Lactona, Bergen op Zoom, The Netherlands), designed and arranged according to the lingualized occlusion concept (Becker et al, 1977;Lang and Razzoog, 1992).…”

Comminution of Food with Mandibular Implant-retained Overdentures

et al. 1994

When complete-denture wearers are treated with from four to six implants and mandibular implant-borne prostheses, masticatory performance improves. No significant improvement has been observed with two implants and implant-mucosa-borne overdentures, suggesting that the masticatory performance of edentulous subjects depends on the degree of support for their mandibular prostheses by implants or alveolar mucosa. To verify this hypothesis, we studied, in a randomized clinical trial, the comminution of an artificial test food during mastication. The trial involved the provision of a new maxillary denture and either a new conventional mandibular denture, a mandibular overdenture retained by two permucosal cylindric implants through a single bar-clip attachment, or a mandibular overdenture retained by a transmandibular implant through five clips on a triple-bar construction with cantilever extensions. In comparison with the subjects wearing mandibular implant-retained overdentures, the subjects with conventional complete dentures needed between 1.5 and 3.6 times more chewing strokes to achieve an equivalent reduction in particle size. No differences in masticatory performance and efficiency were found between the subjects who had received two permucosal cylindric implants and those who had received a transmandibular implant. The results suggest that the increased retention and stability of the mandibular denture, rather than the degree of support by implants or alveolar mucosa, determine the wearer's ability to comminute food during mastication.

“…Further, the necessity for complete dentures is not likely to decrease in the near future, and investigators should pay close attention to improving CCDs . In this study, we sought to present and evaluate a new occlusal scheme for the first and to compare patient satisfaction with it to LO and FBBO. Buccalized occlusion (BO) provides for simple occlusal adjustments and less occlusal interference and surface contacts between maxillary and mandibular teeth.…”
