Dentures and false teeth

摘要

Dentures are taught may comprise one or more false teeth that correspond to the upper and lower second premolars and/or first molars. The false tooth or teeth preferably have the following characteristics in relation to the upper and lower second premolars and first molars: (1) an imaginary plane passing through the supporting cuspals of the upper second premolars and the supporting cuspals of the upper first molars may be parallel or substantially parallel to the occlusal plane; (2) an imaginary plane passing through the base of the opposed-teeth contact region formed on the occlusal surface of the lower second premolars and the lower first molars may be parallel or substantially parallel to the occlusal plane; and (3) in centric occlusion, the supporting cusps of the upper second premolars and the supporting cusps of the upper first molars may contact the bases of the respective opposed-teeth contact regions formed on the occlusal surface of the lower second premolars and the lower first molars. Dentures are also taught that comprise a denture plate and a plurality of false teeth corresponding to lower first premolar, second premolar, first molar, and/or second molar, wherein the shapes of the opposed-tooth contact regions formed on the occlusal surfaces of the second premolar and the lower first molar have the following angular conditions: (a) sagittal incisal guide angle ≥ sagittal condylar guide angle and (b) lateral incisal guide angle > sagittal condylar guide angle <IMAGE>
