Grinding guidelines
1 Verifying centric contacts:
In complete denture prosthetics, it is generally not
recommended to perform major occlusal adjustments
prior to processing the denture base.
Correct increases in vertical dimension prior to
removing the polymerized dentures from the model.
Make sure the centric lock is engaged.
Occlusal adjustments should be performed using the
following guidelines:
• Do not adjust the working cusps.
• Reduce premature contacts in the antagonist fossa.
After adjusting the occlusal height, re-establish all the
centric contacts as determined by the setup.
2 Adjusting functional movement:
Guiding contacts are desirable to ensure a lingualized
occlusion within the functional range.
The following adjustment guidelines are recommended:
•
Centric contacts: do not adjust
• Working side (laterotrusion): adjust buccal facing
inclines of lingual cusps
• Non-working side (mediotrusion): adjust lingual
facing inclines of buccal cusps
