Abstract

Clinical remounting of complete denture is performed to refine occlusal harmony in maxillo-mandibular relation. It has been reported that patients who used adjusted dentures with clinical remounting felt less complications such as pain and discomfort in mastication. The purpose of this study was to assess effects of clinical remounting with case series. Seven patients with existing complete prosthesis were included. Clinical remounting procedure was done through interocclusal relation recording. In addition, occlusal force was measured with pressure indicating sensor and occlusal contact areas were evaluated with photo occlusion analysis. Occlusal contact areas of prosthesis were enlarged, while bite pressure was not increased. Hit and slide phenomenon of prosthesis was reduced concurrently. Clinical remounting procedure improved denture stability and increased occlusal contact area. Therefore, clinical remounting should be considered.
