Canine Guidance vs Bilateral Balanced Occlusion in Complete Denture

A Cross-over Randomized Clinical Trial of Canine Guidance and Bilateral Balanced Occlusion in Complete Denture Wearers

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 44 (actual)
• Sponsor: University of Sao Paulo · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 45 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

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.

• Edentulous Mouth
• Edentulous Jaw

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Occlusal scheme	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.
