  • Title: The Development of Nonanatomic Denture Occlusion: Part II.
    Author: Engelmeier RL.
    Journal: J Prosthodont; 2019 Jan; 28(1):e148-e158. PubMed ID: 29741216.
    Abstract:
    This second part of a four-part series concerned with the development of nonanatomic denture occlusion follows nonanatomic tooth design from the time of Victor Sears' first nonanatomic tooth patent through the mid-1930s. Many of the designs featured in this series exhibit genius, while others are pure nonsense. Sears claimed that a new nonanatomic tooth design appeared every 9 months on average during the first 30 years of nonanatomic tooth production. Many current nonanatomic tooth patents are further refinements of those earlier designs. Part II reviews pioneering designs that appeared during the first dozen or so years of this paradigm shift in denture occlusion philosophy.
