Abstract
Physiologically, the human teeth must fit into the jaw relationship harmony, not vice versa. In order to produce full dentures that fit into the harmony of the jaw, the denture teeth arrangement should be made according to the balanced occlusion principle. One of the most important factors in the principle is condylar angle adjustment. Objectives: To compare the condylar angle average values between the complete dentulous and totally edentulous subjects in Deutero-Malay. Methods: This was a descriptive comparative clinical research, that involved 16 complete dentulous Deutero-Malay dental students and 14 totally edentulous Deutero-Malay patients at Oral and Dental Hospital of Faculty of Dentistry Padjadjaran University who fullfilled the inclusion criteria. The condylar angle value measurement was done with protrusive record method using the fully-adjustable arcon type articulator. Results: The average value of the complete dentulous Deutero Malays’ condylar angles was 38.0±8.5° and the average value of the totally edentulous Deutero-Malay’ was 30.7±14.6°. Statistically, there was a significant difference between the condylar angle’s average value of the complete dentulous and the totally edentulous in the Deutero-Malay. Conclusion: There was a condylar angle decrease on complete edentulous subjects compared to the fully dentulous subjects in Deutero-Malay.
