Abstract
To determine the relationship between the lateral dentoskeletal forms of complete denture wearers and the direction of bite force, the lateral dentoskeletal forms of eight subjects in the normal face group were examined by cephalography. The directions of bite force during vertical clenching in various maxillomandibular relations were measured and correlated with the craniofacial forms.The results revealed that the lateral dentoskeletal forms and the direction of bite force in complete dental wearers had a closer relationship than that in subjects with normal occlusion and dentition. The direction ofbite force for complete denture wearers inclined more towards the front than in subjects with normal occlusionand dentition, and more so as the vertical maxillomandibular relation increased. The results suggested theextreme importance of setting a suitable occlusal plane and vertical maxillomandibular relationship.
