Anterior hyperfunction (AH) is defined as excessive occlusal forces in the anterior teeth in B4 and C1 cases as well as in Eichner C2 cases with combination syndrome. The most difficult cases to deal with are generally those in which the occlusal contact caused by excessive occlusal forces is not properly managed, leading to denture sway, changes in occlusal contact, and changes in periodontal tissues, leading to further destruction of the oral tissues. The treatment strategy is to restore the occlusion of the molars and to control the occlusal forces of the anterior teeth. This article discusses the treatment and maintenance of AH cases in denture prosthetics, focusing on clinical techniques.
