good job prof Oscar one question please why in occlusion max intercuspation the anterior teeth should not touch ?

[@charlesmeister4200]

Anterior teeth should not touch in M.I. because they would prevent excursive movement and balanced contacts during mastication. Anterior teeth should slide across each other and contact during left, right, and protrusive movements. Having patients "locked in" during M.I. would prevent this, so in full 33 degree anatomical setups and semi anatomic setups that's why the anteriors are usually set with 1mm overbite and 1mm overjet to allow this space for functional movement. The amount of space needed is less for shallower cuspal inclines such as 10 degree occlusion. The lower jaw naturally and instinctively slides forward ever so slightly during incisive action (biting into a piece of apple or chicken) allowing anterior teeth to meet and are balanced by posterior cuspal tips if dentures are properly balanced. That movement can't happen if your anteriors are locked in during maximum intercuspation, so setting them that way is wrong and going to end up with broken anteriors and sore spots without significant adjustment to create this 1mm OB and 1mm OJ of clearance.

I don’t know the first thing about dentures, but I just got my first set of full dentures about a month ago, and I don’t know if the problem I was having is called occlusion or whatever, but the teeth didn’t fit together inside my mouth the same same way they did when they are out. There was a huge gap in between the front teeth! So I finally went back today to have it looked at, and the dentist took the dentures in the next room and came back an about 5 minutes put them in my mouth and now they look like they are supposed to when I smile. But when I get home and take the teeth out, I realize that He completely removed every single cusp and point on all of the back teeth, top and bottom! Completely flat now! Like I said, I’m clueless to everything dentures, but is this a common practice? And will I be able to still break food down properly with these dentures?

Dental Tech student here! It seems as if one of these things must have happen. the dentist made a mistake on your jaw measurements, the technician didn’t place the teeth the way the jaw measurements/ occlusion ( meaning when you place your teeth align , like when your smiling) to your jaw shape, or they just never actually check if the teeth have a balanced occlusion, for when your mouth is resting or ready to chew. I would think they would move the cusp so the remaining teeth would be temporarily aligned, and then they should preform a repair and get you a new set of cusps
