Description:
This two day "hands-on" bench program concentrates on Esthetic and Functional concepts concerning anterior
and posterior tooth arrangements. Truly personalized tooth arrangements are based on facial characteristics,
oral landmarks, and factors of denture contour which benefit the patient. Slides of natural dentition are
shown to illustrate and demonstrate the subtle differences nature employs between various face/arch/tooth
forms and their relationship to functional tooth positions.
Several of the factors governing establishment of balanced articulation will be covered, with suggestions
for practical applications to improve articulation and subsequent functional benefits - A Plane of
Orientation as well as specific anatomical landmarks for natural tooth position will be illustrated.
Articulator settings necessary to achieve accurate bilateral working and balancing contact are discussed.
A portion of the slide/lecture covers flat occlusal schemes for when a preference is indicated for that
type of tooth arrangement.
Workshop participants set up complete upper and lower dentures utilizing Anatoline 10°, Trubyte 20° and
Pilkington-Turner 30° teeth in balanced occlusion and also a lingualized arrangement.
A 1x28 of the artificial teeth employed during this program along with cast/mountings, baseplates,
portfolios, etc. become the property of each participant.
