Abstract

Introduction
The occlusion of complete denture has been a subject of argument from the first attempts for treatment of edentulous patients. This study was performed to determine the subjective success of three different methods for setting the artificial teeth of complete dentures.
Materials & Methods
    10 patients with normal residual alveolar ridge and jaw relationship were selected. Three complete dentures were made for each patient, the first one with normal occlusion, the second one with monoplane and the last one with lingualized occlusion.
At first dentures were delivered randomly to the patients to be used for one month. The patients filled out a questionnaire 24hrs, 72hrs, 15days and one month after delivery. After one month, the second denture and then the third one were delivered to them randomly. After three months of using dentures, the patients filled out a comparative questionnaire.
Results
    The results showed that lingualized occlusion apparently has important advantages and deserves further evaluation and research.
Conclusion
     In contrast with the current concept indicating that normal occlusion is the best occlusion, this study showed  that the  lingualized occlusion was the best for complete denture.
