A Cross-over Randomized Clinical Trial of Canine Guidance and Bilateral Balanced Occlusion in Complete Denture Wearers
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Occlusal scheme for Edentulous Mouth and Edentulous Jaw. Completed, enrolled 44 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The objective of this study is to compare the canine guidance (CG) and bilateral balanced occlusion (BBO) on denture satisfaction and kinesiographic parameters of complete denture wearers, by means of a cross-over trial. Edentulous patients will receive new maxillary and mandibular complete dentures and, after the intraoral adjustments and adaptation period, will randomly receive a sequence of occlusal schemes: BBO followed by CG, or CG followed by BBO.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Before enrollment, all participants will receive conventional complete dentures adjusted according to the bilateral balanced occlusion concept. Following randomization, canine guidance will be achieved by adding composite resin (Restorative Z100, 3M Brazil, Sumaré, SP, Brazil) on the lingual surface of the maxillary canines. A sham comparator will also employ the addition of composite, but without changing eccentric contacts.
