Available research has not identified a superior tooth form or arrangement to fulfill the requirements of complete denture patients in the areas of comfort, function, and esthetics. Therefore, it appears logical to use the least complicated approach to fulfill these requirements. This approach begins with the development of a philosophy of occlusion and selection of a concept to satisfy the philosophy. A balanced articulation appears to be most appropriate because of tooth contacts observed during nonfunctional activities of patients. Occlusal schemes to fulfill these occlusal concepts are many and varied. In the opinion of the author, the lingualized articulation concept using tooth molds specifically designed for this concept seems to be the most logical and least complicated approach in occlusal rehabilitation of edentulous patients.
