Summary

Purpose: To assess the effect of two different occlusal schemes, bilateral balance and monoplane on the masticatory efficiency in mandibular implant retained overdenture with ball and socket attachment. Methodology: Twelve male completely edentulous patients were recruited for this clinical study. Each patient received two implants after that. Patients were divided randomly into two equal groups according to occlusal schemes which involved bilateral balanced occlusion and mono plane occlusion. each. Group 1 received a bilateral balanced occlusion scheme denture; Group 2 received monoplane occlusal scheme denture. Masticatory efficiencies were evaluated by assessing chewing time and number of chewing strokes with different types of foods. The data were collected, tabulated and statistically analyzed. Results: using dentures with bilateral balanced occlusion showed lower masticatory efficiency than the denture with monoplane occlusion with no significant difference when using soft food during the first month, while after 3 months there were significant differences between the two groups. Conclusion: The two-implant retained mandibular overdenture with monoplane occlusion showed relatively improved masticatory efficiency than with bilateral balanced occlusion.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Bilateral Balanced Occlusion

Dentures designed under this scheme feature a fully bilateral balanced articulation, ensuring bilateral, simultaneous contact of the anterior and posterior denture teeth in both centric and eccentric positions. This occlusal scheme is aimed at promoting stability and functionality of the dentures during various mandibular movements.

PROCEDURE

Monoplane Occlusion

This scheme utilizes zero-degree teeth to create a flat occlusal plane, which is designed to simplify the occlusal contacts and minimize the transmission of lateral forces during mastication. The aim is to improve masticatory efficiency by reducing the complexity of tooth contact
