Q

ADVANTAGES of ANATOMIC teeth

A

Esthetic is more life like
Shearing ability better
Cusp-cusp, tooth-tooth balanced occlusion possible
Positive intercuspation position possible

Q

DISADVANTAGES of ANATOMIC teeth

A

Balanced occlusion lost
Requires follow-up appointments and relines
Arch relation discrepancies less adaptable
Increase in horizontal forces (inc. opportunity to destabilize denture)
Difficult to set

Q

ADVANTAGES of NON-anatomic teeth

A

Centric Relation is an area, not a single point
Reduction in horizontal, destabilizing forces on RR
Easier to set
Adaptable to denture base shifting
Movement freedom
