[An original rehabilitation method for the totally edentulous based on Ludwig's technique. 4. Articulator transfer. Mounting of artificial teeth].

Abstract

Balanced occlusion is the occlusal concept used in full dentures. In this article, which describes the technique for mounting teeth according to LUDWIGS, the authors present a very typical equipment (guide punch, tooth guide, positioning and mounting plates...). This provides the dental technician with all the possibilities to create occlusal curves which are individualised for each case in order to achieve a balanced and rational mounting of artificial teeth.
