During consultation for rebase, reline, what questions to ask?
1. How old?
2. How old is liner?
3. allergic to materials?
4. how did break occur?
5. ask about and evaluate the occlusion
Natural occlusion rules
• Anterior contact in CO (+/-)
• Incisal guidance in Protrusion
• Canine guidance in Lateral
• CO ≠ CR
Denture occlusion rules
• No anterior contact in CO
• No incisal guidance in Protrusion
• No canine guidance in Lateral
• CO= CR first and max contact, we do this since its reproducible. This is the key for denture occlusion.
Rules of balanced occlusion
• Bilateral posterior contact in CO
• Bilateral posterior contact in Protrusion
• Bilateral posterior contact in Lateral
• CO= CR
• Optional anterior contact in Protrusion
• No anterior contact in Lateral
What are 2 goals of balanced occlusion
1. prevent anterior occlusion : accomplish by increase H, decrease V
2. Maintain posterior occlusion but increasing cusps and curves.
When do you use curves?
start at 1/2 RMP, and go up to 2/3 RMP for anatomical set up.

Monoplane: when H and V are sufficient
If H and V are insufficent, do flat cusp curved plane.

If H, V, and curve are insufficient but ridge is sufficient, you must use a curved cusp curved plane = anatomical.
Christensens phenomena
If occlusal plane is flat, but mand path is curved, then posterior teeth will disclude in excursions.

If this is insufficient, then we have 2 choices to curve.
1. Take plane and curve it to build in Curve of Spee
2. Take last tooth of set up, and bring it up slightly or add wax distal to your first molar. This
creates a balancing ramp.

Both are options for a monoplane set up
How to decide which cusp to use?
1. Residual ridge: the flatter the ridge, the flatter the cusp
2. Angle's class (cross bite), Bruxism (wear), and Coordination (reproduciblity)
What teeth are required for resorbed ridges?
Flat teeth.
What are 3 types of axial inclinations nad arch form for anterior teeth?
Square- 2 centrals are straight across.
Tapering
Ovoid
What does lingualizing the teeth help to do? Describe the set up of teeth for monoplane and anterior set up
Helps resist lateral forces.
Monoplane lowers
are centered to crest
Anatomical lowers
are lingual to crest

Monoplane lowers
are set first and
are centered to crest

Anatomical uppers
are set first and
are centered to crest


Monoplane
Anatomical
Monoplane lowers
are set first and
are centered to crest

Anatomical uppers
are set first and
are centered to crest
using a line 3mm
buccal to crest

Monoplane uppers
are set last and
are labial to crest
Anatomical uppers
are set first and
are centered to crest
using a line 3mm
Monoplane uppers
are set last and
are labial to lowers
Anatomical lowers
are set last and
are lingual to crest
1. For anatomical, what teeth are perpendicular to plane?
2. Which is set off the plane?
1. Bicuspids
2. Molar is titled so that only ML cusp contacts the plane

Need to have a consistent progression upwards. The actual phyiscal number isn't important. There is a buccal and lingual curve of spee. Difference between B and L curve of spee is the curve of Wilson.
Anatomical set up for posteriors
1. MB cusp of upper aligns w/ B groove of lower. Set the premolars next.
2. THen finish with anteriors. Vertical overlap is created by raising the lowers.

1 mm vertical overlap
1-2 mm horizontal overlap
tilt as above

Lower 1st bicuspid may be set before or after the anteriors.
-if mand anteriors are set last, need to be rotated and lapped to fit teeth into arch
Lingual view of the anatomical set up should show what?
-No daylight in the posterior
-No contact in the anterior
If set up was correct why is equilibration necessary?
-Wax on occlusal surface results in a space between tooth and investment
What are some mistakes that can happen before processing, during, and after?
Before:
Poor tooth position
Wax shrinkage

During:
Wax on teeth
Poor luting
Exothermic reaction
Overpacking
Packing too slowly
Insufficient pressure
Excess flash
Heating too fast
Cooling too fast

AFter:
heat from polishing
dessication
Objectives of equilibration
• To have CO= CR
• To maintain VDO
• To distribute stress
• To retain cusp shape
• To achieve balanced occlusion
• To smooth contacting surfaces
3 steps of equilibration sequence
1st Centric interferences
2nd Lateral interferences
3rd Protrusive interferences
Centric inferences
1. only one side contacts
2. posterior not in CR
Lateral interferences
1. only one side contacts (working or balancing)
2. only one tooth contacts - canine interference
Protrusive interferences
1. only anteriors contact
2. only some teeth contact or anteriors are too far apart
Describe primary and secondary supporting cusps. What do you change if you have centric or centric + eccentric interferences?
Primary - don't move but 2ndary cusps are movable.

-Grinding supporting cusps results in loss of CO and VDO. Before grinding, we need to check excursions - right, left lateral and protrusion.

No protrusive interference, then grind the fossa. Don't touch cusp!
If centric and RL has interference,
then grind the cusp.

Centric only: fossa
Cenentric and eccentric: grind cusp
For horizontal interferences, what is changed?
MUDL = mesial of upper, distal of lower.
if its in the posterior.
Lateral inferences
Primary supporting don't move but secondary does. Grinding non supporting wont change CR or VDO.

For working interference, grind BULL (buccal upper, lingual lower) these are non supporting cusps.

Balancing side: grinding a supporting changes CR and VDO.
Only grind the inner incline of a secondary supporting cusp. Only touh the lower. BL inclines only

Remove lateral inferences using 2 colors of articulating paper. grind only incline and excursive.
What if you have posterior sides both discluding?
Canine guidance - everything discludes in lateral.
-start w/ lowers first.
lower cuspid
lower first premolar
maxillary canine - adjust lingual (increase H)
Protrusive interferences
1. contact between supporting + non supporting cusp inclines. Buccal cusps control what you have.
-gring non supporting cusp inclines when possible - Max B cusp, distal inclines.

-grind DUML. For incisal guidance, grind the lowers = beveling will increase horizontal overlap.
How do you increase the horizontal overlap? Decrease vertical overlap?
Cut if denture,
rotate if in wax..

Decrease vertical: cut and move
Wear facets?
If you have protrusive interference in the anterior then lower wear facets.
For posterior - DUML
Posterior inferences in monoplane setup?
Upper buccal cusp needs to be adjusted.
