title: [Evaluation of a method for determination of the occlusal plane in complete dentures].
abstract: The Authors have experimentally verified Monteith's mathematical formula validity for determination of occlusal plane in edentulous patients in order to realize some complete dentures. They have held the inquiry on two groups of patients: group A, edentulous patients that need a complete denture for first time (ex novo); group B, patients that before had a complete denture and regretted a short aesthetic and functional adaptation. The results obtained for every patient confirm mathematical formula validity and show the importance of a correct determination of occlusal plane in edentulous patients for construction of complete dentures.
