• Anatomical molars wilh cusp inc1ination s of 33 degrees

Very aeslhelic

• Easy grinding of Ihe lood

• Sits comfortably because Ihe

Relative easy arrangement and adjustment

Non-anatomical concept accordlng to Sears

Monoplane occlusion, i.e. totally fla t molars without cusps

Easy arrangement and

adjuslment

Aesthetic cutbacks in favor of other chara cteristics

• The den tal prosthesis can absorb horizontal forces beller owing to the missing cusp inclinations.

• Thus, the concept is espe­

cially suitable lor patients with

severely resorbed jaws and

offers a more s ta bie den tal

prosthesis

• Easy adjuslment of the occlusion with changes in the horizontal and/or perpendicu­lar connection as a resuLt of a resorption of the processus. aLveolaris

• The sleepty inclined cusps

• The concept ol the basin­

• This is especiatly suitabte

when horizontal farces are

unwelcome, f. ex., with severely

resorbed jaws. flabby ridges,

paralunetions or implants.

• Because there is only one

"Lingualized Occlusion Concept" & Continuing education courses

The "Lingualized Occlusion Concept'" as developed

by en ta in coLLaboration with leading sc ientists and

universit ies describes a speeitie contouring and

arrangement of the artificiaL elements.

It comb ines the advantages of the 50 far highly

mutual controversial concepts [anatomie and

The hLingualized Occlusion Concept" achieves

optimaL results with regard to aeslhetics, wea ring
