title: Application of lingual contact occlusion to complete dentures with two-layered posterior teeth: a clinical report.
abstract: When two-layered artificial teeth are used, acrylic resin occlusal parts can be removed from base parts and used directly as resin patterns for casting, which facilitates fabrication of metal occlusal surfaces. Because these teeth were made of acrylic resin, it was easy to modify occlusal morphology before converting to metal. Application of two-layered artificial teeth to achieve lingual contact occlusion brought about sufficient masticatory forces and denture stability and resulted in patient satisfaction.
