title: [Evaluation of the occlusal plane in dentulous and edentulous subjects].
abstract: The occlusal plane is an important factor in stability and esthetic of dentures. The location of the occlusal plane in complete dentures is a controversial subject. The occlusal plane in complete denture has often been oriented anteriorly to fulfill esthetic and posteriorly to Camper's line. However, recently the methods used for locating the occlusal plane appear to be less limiting. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the different concepts of occlusal plane. A roentgenographic cephalometric investigation was conducted to compare the position of the occlusal plane of the artifical teeth with that of the natural teeth which existed before the remaining teeth were extracted.
