  • Title: Occlusion for maxillary dentures opposing osseointegrated mandibular prostheses.
    Author: Denissen HW, Kalk W, van Waas MA, van Os JH.
    Journal: Int J Prosthodont; 1993; 6(5):446-50. PubMed ID: 8297454.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a combination of several occlusal concepts designed to contribute to the successful use of maxillary dentures in opposition to osseointegrated mandibular prostheses. To ensure a positive outcome when designing such an occlusion, three factors must be considered: patient satisfaction, maxillary anterior bone preservation, and mandibular arch shortening. It is recommended that for centric occlusion the molars have a lingual contact occlusion, the premolars have a buccal contact occlusion, and the anterior teeth have an open occlusal relationship. For an eccentric occlusion, a balanced articulation is favored instead of mutually protected occlusion.
