Occlusion

“Dentures are mechanical devices and are subjected to the principle of physics (mechanics) that is the inclined plane and the lever. The forces will operate whether or not we recognize them rather than let them operate uncontrolled it is the responsibility of the dentist to control them in order to enhance function stability and comfort” -Sheldon Winkler. A thorough understanding of force management in complete denture through selecting and delivering a correct occlusion scheme is important for the long term success of denture.
