Highlights
It is challenging for prosthodontist to reorient and relocate the lost occlusal plane in edentate patients
Materials and methods: A total of 100 patients with 50 males and 50 females were examined to measure the distance of mesiobuccal cusp tip maxillary 2nd molar to inferior border of parotid papilla with UNC-15 periodontal probe in maximum intercuspal position
Showed the difference in measurements between right and left papillae to be significant at the p-value of 0.05 and p-value of
Summary
It is challenging for prosthodontist to reorient and relocate the lost occlusal plane in edentate patients. Several intraoral landmarks that help in re-orienting and relocating the lost occlusal plane. With loss of complete dentition, there is loss of the plane of occlusion. It is very challenging for the restoring dentist to relocate and re-orient the occlusal plane in edentate patient. Several intraoral landmarks that help in re-orienting and relocating the lost occlusal plane are retromolar pad, lateral border of tongue, buccinator groove, linea alba buccalis, rima oris and parotid papilla. The plane of occlusion is first established by the mandibular teeth, to which the maxillary teeth adapt themselves.
