Various clinical situations and their influence on linear occlusion in treating combination syndrome: a discussion of treatment options.

Eliminating anterior tooth contact is paramount when treating combination syndrome. It is possible to do so through the use of linear occlusion with a non-interceptive arrangement and the bilateral fulcrum of protrusive stability. The presence of mandibular anterior teeth often complicates this procedure.

Dynesthetic and dentogenic concept revisited.

Unlabelled: The dynesthetic and dentogenic concept, when applied, provides a more natural, harmonious prosthesis, which not only is desired by patients, but also is a quality of care they deserve. Outstanding esthetics can be achieved by simple guidelines, using tooth molds specifically sculpted for males and females, arranging prosthetic teeth to correspond with personality and age and sculpting the matrix (visible denture base) with more natural contours. There is no reason for edentulous individuals to be provided with care of any less quality than that available with other procedures, such as crowns, bridges, veneers, or implant restorations.
