Photographs with teeth showing (at rest or at smiling). Casts- Can give an idea about size as well as shape of teeth .Also helps to determine distance from labial frenum to incisal edge. X-rays. Preserved extracted teeth Teeth of close relatives
Dr. Nitin Sethi 6
Cuspid eminences When cuspid eminences are visible on cast, a line marking the distal of eminences coincide with distal margin of cuspids.
Ala of nose line dropped from the Ala passes through tip of canine. This gives an idea about relative width of 6 maxillary anterior teeth
BIZYGOMATIC WIDTH
H.Pounds formula Width of maxillary C.I.=Bizygomatic width/16 width of 6 maxillary anterior teeth= Bizygomatic width/3.3
10
Facial Form
Artificial teeth selected should be in harmony with the form of face of the patient. Teeth that are in harmony with the outline form of face will look good. According to Leon Williams, facial forms can be -square -tapering - ovoid or a combination of the above
12
Profile of Face
The labial surface of anterior teeth from mesial should show a contour similar to patients face when viewed in profile. E.g. straight or convex profile
13
Labial surface of anterior teeth viewed from incisal should show a convexity or flatness similar to that seen when face is viewed from the top of the head or from below the chin.
14
Described by Frush & Fisher (1955). Teeth form is determined by sex, personality and age of the patient.
Sex of patient- the shape of teeth differs in males and females. -incisal edges are more rounded in females
15
Cervical regions are prominent in females than males Only mesial 1/3 of canine is visible in females from front view while in males, even the middle 2/3 is visible. Incisal edges of C.I. & L.I. in females follow the curve of lower lip while in males incisal edge of C.I. is parallel to lower lip & laterals are above the occlusal plane
16
Age
Mandibular anterior teeth become more visible than maxillary teeth because of reduced tonicity of lips. Due to decrease in muscle tone, sagging of the cheeks and the lower lips occur. To prevent cheek biting (due to sagging), the horizontal overlap of the posterior teeth can be increased. Old people usually have abraded teeth with worn out contacts.
17
Old patients have gingival recession. More teeth exposed during carving to show Gingival recession. Old people show a blunt smile line and pathologic migration of teeth. The colour of the teeth also changes with age.
18
Personality of patient
The patient can be either vigorous or delicate. More squarish, large teeth, worn incisal edges, sharp line angles, darker shade teeth are selected for vigorous people. For delicate personality, the teeth should be relatively smaller, Pale & Rounded and more symmetrically arranged
19
COLOR/SHADE OF TEETH
Young people have lighter teeth where the colour of the pulp is shown through the translucent enamel. Old people show dark and opaque teeth due to the deposition of secondary dentin Teeth are more shiny in old people as they get polished due to regular wear of the teeth. Teeth of older people obtain a brownish tinge because exposed dentin tends to stain.

25
Posterior teeth are selected based upon Buccolingual width, Mesiodistal length, Occlusogingival height, Shade, Form of the teeth, Material
Dr. Nitin Sethi 26
Buccolingual width
The
buccolingual width of the artificial teeth should be decreased as compared to natural teeth.
If the buccolingual width increases, the forces acting on the denture will also increase, leading to increase in the rate of ridge resorption It should be such that the forces from the tongue neutralize the forces of the cheek.
27
Broader teeth encroach into the tongue space leading to instability of the denture.
the teeth should not encroach into the buccal corridor space to avoid cheek biting
28
Mesiodistal length
29
Occlusogingival height
Determined by the available inter-arch distance. The occlusal plane should be located at the midpoint of the interocclusal distance Altering the thickness of the denture base can also be done to accommodate large teeth.
30
31
Cusp teeth - Anatomic teeth - Semi-anatomic or modified cusp or low cusp teeth Cuspless teeth Special forms
Dr. Nitin Sethi 32
An anatomic tooth is one that is designed to simulate the natural tooth form. The standard anatomic tooth has inclines of approximately 33 degree or more. when the cusp incline is less steep than the conventional anatomic tooth of 33 degree it can be classified as a modified or semianatomic tooth. It can be considered basically anatomic and will articulate in three dimensions.
2.
33
no cusp heights to interdigitate with an opposing tooth and has sulci to enhance its comminuting effect on food. They articulate in only two dimensions.
34
Closely resembles natural teeth Proper contours for crushing and triturating. Presence of adequate sluiceways. Greater chewing efficiency, excessive chewing pressure is minimized. More vertical chewing stroke. Cuspal inclines provide a depth to obtain eccentric balance.
35
Disadvantages
More difficult and time consuming to obtain balanced occlusion. Settling results in more damaging interferences. Possibilities of more lateral stress in function. Settling will lead to residual ridge resorption
36
37
PORCELAIN:
INDICATIONS : When sufficient inter-arch space is available.
38
ADVANTAGES :
Very Esthetic. Greater wear resistance than acrylic resin teeth. Maintains Vertical dimension for years. Maintains masticatory efficiency for years Better retention of surface polish & finishing.
39
DISADVANTAGES : Bonding to denture base resin is mechanical, by Pins / Channels. Being Brittle, it is prone to chip / break. Cannot be used in areas with reduced inter-arch space,
as it is difficult to adjust.
Difficult to restore polish after grinding.
Abrades opposing natural teeth or resin teeth.
Acrylic Resin:
ADVANTAGES :
Inexpensive & easily available.
Natural appearance & sound.
Easy to do adjustment.
Bonding to denture base resin is Chemical.
INDICATIONS :
Opposing dentition consists of natural teeth / gold crowns or bridges. Reduced inter-arch space easy to grind & fit the reduced space. RPD s teeth in contact with clasps may require grinding.
DISADVANTAGES :
Less wear resistant loss of Vertical dimension. Becomes dull in appearance due to loss of surface lustre with use. Loss of efficiency with time.

The arrangement of teeth must be Physiologically And esthetically acceptable. Physiologically, They must be in a position compatible with the lips, Tongue, and cheeks whether the mandible is in a Relaxed position or in motion.
45
Teeth should be set /placed close to the Position occupied by the natural teeth & compatible to the surrounding musculature.
Dr. Nitin Sethi 46
47
Horizontal positions
Involves placing the teeth anteroposteriorly and mediolaterally (1) To provide stability, (2) To direct the forces of mastication to areas most favorable for support, (3) To support the lips and cheeks for esthetics, (4) To be compatible with the functions of the surrounding structures.
Dr. Nitin Sethi 48
49
It is found in Lingual embrasure b/t Maxi.C.I. Labial surface of maxillary incisors is approx. 8 to 10 mm anterior to incisive papilla. A transverse line bisecting the middle of I.P. passes through the tip of canine.
50
Cuspid eminences
When cuspid eminences are visible on cast, a line marking the distal of eminences co-incide with distal margin of cuspids.
Square arch C.I. in line with the canine Tapering arch C.I. at a greater distance forward than canine
Esthetics
Vermilion border of upper lip. Mento-Labial & Naso-Labial groove. Everted upper lip. Corner of mouth (no drooping appearance)
Dr. Nitin Sethi 53
Lip would taut & stretch. Nasolabial fold may fill out.
Dr. Nitin Sethi 54
Ridge relationship
In normal class I normal overjet & overbite. Class III-edge to edge or reverse overjet. Class II- more overjet. But physiological resorption pattern should be taken into consideration.
55
Midline midline of face passes between 2 upper & lower central incisors. Ala of nose line dropped from the Ala passes through tip of canine.
56
57
58
Effect of aging
In young pt, Incisal edges are visible by 1 to 2 mm below the upper lip at rest. While smiling or during speech,incisal & middle 1/3 are visible in normal person. With aging, tone of upper lip decreases, lesser amount of maxillary teeth visible and more of mandibular teeth become visible.
Dr. Nitin Sethi 59
reverse is true if mandibular teeth are below lower lip at corner of mouth.

Sounds made by the patient at the time of tryin can never be as accurate as when permanent denture bases resin has been substituted for trial bases & the patient has become accustomed to the dentures.
Speech sounds are not a safe guide to position of teeth. Dentist should watch carefully the relationship of lips & tongue, paying minimal attention to the sounds of speech.
Labial sounds :
B,P&M
Sounds are made at the lips. Air pressure is build up behind the lips & released with or without a voice sound. Insufficient support of the lips by teeth & denture base causes these sounds to be defective.
Dr. Nitin Sethi 62
Labio-Dental sounds :
F & V
On pronunciation of labiodental sounds f & v, vermilion border of lower lip contacts the incisal edges of Max. Incisor teeth.
If Max Anterior teeth are set too short (Set too high), v will sound like an f .
If they are set too long (Set too far down), f will sound like a v.
63
Dental sounds :
th
Sounds are made with the tip of tongue extending slightly b/w Upper & Lower teeth.
If more than 1/4 inch ( 6mm ) of tongue extends b/w teeth, teeth are probably too far Lingual.
Dr. Nitin Sethi 64
Alveolar sounds :
S , z , ch & j
Sibilant sounds are Alveolar sounds, because tongue & alveolus form the controlling valve. Upper & Lower incisors should approach end to end but not touch.
If lower Anterior teeth are too far back, tongue will be forced to Arch itself up to a higher position & the airway will be too small. If the Lingual flange of lower denture is too thick in Anterior region, result will be a faulty s sound.
This can be corrected by placing the artificial teeth in same position as natural teeth & also making the lingual flange such that it does not encroach on tongue space.
Dr. Nitin Sethi 66
68
Most texts describe setting the Maxillary posterior teeth first. However, this procedure may require many adjustments when lower teeth are set. It is recommended to set the Mandibular teeth first. Lower ridge & surrounding structures offer reliable landmarks for setting posterior teeth. Lower denture is less stable & has less support. More critical limitations on position of lower teeth.
69
Retromolar pad
The maximum extension posteriorly of any artificial tooth is anterior border of Retromolar pad. to avoid having a tooth over an incline which results in denture sliding. Sometimes space is available for only 3 mandibular posterior teeth, then drop Ist premolar.
Dr. Nitin Sethi 70
Retromolar pad
71
Maxillary Tuberosity
Teeth should not be set on the Tuberosity as it can lead to lever imbalance and might lead to cheek bite in posterior region.
When space permits,4 maxillary posterior teeth can be placed opposing 3 mandibular posterior teeth, to provide support to cheeks
72
OCCLUSAL PLANE
Anterior occlusal plane
parallel to interpupillary line & at the level of commissure.
- posterior occlusal plane should be at the level of 2/3 the height of retromolar pad
73
Stensons duct it exits at Bu mucosa in the region of 2nd Molar. Occlusal plane is located of 1/8 of an inch below this.
With these anterio-posterior guidelines,occlusal plane is made parallel to lower mean foundation plane and Ala-Tragus plane. Height of occlusal plane is also influenced by-length of lips -Ridge height -Amount of maxillomandibular space available
75
Buccal Limit
Teeth should not be set too far off the ridge. Placing too far Buccally can cause: Cheek Biting Esthetic problems due to obliteration of Buccal corridor. Denture instability due to lever imbalance & muscle function.
Dr. Nitin Sethi 76
Lingual Limit
Lingual cusps of molars are in alignment with Mylohyoid ridge. Placing too far lingually can cause
77
78
79
Buccal Corridor
Space b/w buccal surface of posterior teeth & inner surface of cheeks.
Excessive buccal corridor results when posterior teeth are set too far ligually. Resulting dark space appears excessive & unaesthetic. Inadequate buccal corridor occurs when posterior teeth are placed too far buccally, causing obliteration of buccal corridor.
80
COMPENSATING CURVES :
Compensating curves are the artificial curves introduced into dentures inorder to facilitate the production of balanced occlusion. They are the artificial counterparts of curve of Spee & Monson that are found in natural dentition.
87
89
Christensen's phenomenon
Space that occurs between opposing occlusal surfaces during mandibular protrusion.
Protrusion with a condylar path sloped at an angle to occlusal plane : Contact lost posteriorly.
Dr. Nitin Sethi 90
a. Retruded contact position with an occlusal surface which is an arc of the circle, of which condylar path is also an arc. b. In protrusion, contact is maintained.
91
Lateral Curve :
In natural dentition there are 2 lateral curves One involving molar teeth (curve of Monson). 2nd involving teeth anterior to 2nd molar.
The curvature in the lower arch is affected by an equal lingual inclination of the right & left molars so that the tip points of the corresponding cross-aligned cusps can be placed into the circumferences of a circle. The transverse cuspal curvature of the upper teeth is affected by the equal buccal inclinations of their long axes.
Dr. Nitin Sethi 93
Curve of Monson:eponym for a proposed ideal curve of occlusion in which each cusp and incisal edge touches or conforms to a segment of the surface of a sphere 8 inches in diameter with its center in the region of the glabella
94
95
If teeth are set on a horizontal plane, non-working side will loose contact, due to the downward movement of condyle on that side.
96
If teeth are set to confirm to a curve, steepness of which relates to steepness of condylar path, then teeth will remain in contact during lateral & downward movement.
