Abstract
Correct occlusal relationships on complete dentures are part of the success in prosthetic treatment of edentulous patients. As denture base materials and fabrication procedures cannot provide dimensionally accurate complete dentures, it is necessary to check the occlusion. The relation between artificial teeth on complete dentures has a significant impact on even loading of denture foundations and optimum stabilisation of dentures during wearing. A remount procedure begins with fabrication of remount casts, determination and transfer of interarch relationships into the articulator. Deflective contacts on dentures are eliminated by selective grinding carried out in the articulator in the intercuspal position and by excursive tooth guided movements. The purpose is to represent a remount procedure as a constituent part of complete denture fabrication procedures in everyday practice. When selecting a dynamic concept of occlusion, priority is given to unbalanced dentures, i.e. to canine guided occlusion and/or to the concept of unilateral occlusal balance.
