Abstract
Arrangement of artificial tooth dynamically considered is important for stability of complete denture. First, we arranged artificial tooth from upper posterior along with pound line as a reference, then we have examined methods to determine the suitable position of denture occlusion. In this study, we examined the effect on arrangement of artificial tooth on palate capacity with our methods. Nine different types of hard resin tooth were used. The combination of anterior tooth and posterior tooth was conducted by each manufacture's instruction. Lingualized occlusion was given arrangement. Palate capacity was measured by weight of water and three-dimensional scanner. Also, complete denture was measured at each side of parts with electronic digital calipers.
As a result of this experiment, we suggested the followings:
1)Capacity of the palate on complete denture can be measured by weight of water.
2)Posterior tooth arrangement can be affected by dental arch width of anterior tooth.
3)The effect on palate capacity of complete denture at anterior tooth is larger thanthe position at posterior tooth.
