Abstract
Study casts on thirty-five partially edentulous patients were analysed at their arch level and at the interarch levels. At the arch level the crest of the residual ridge is located lingually to the position of the remaining teeth in the maxilla as well as in the mandible. The spatial interarch relationship between the residual edentulous ridge and the antagonist natural teeth in the buccolingual plane indicated that the crest of the residual ridge is lingual to the occlusal surfaces of the antagonist teeth. In the maxilla the positioning of the artificial teeth in the area previously occupied by the natural extracted teeth will place the denture teeth far buccal as well as away from the crest of the residual ridge. Other possibilities are to place the artificial teeth in a cross bite relation or to eliminate the buccal cusps of the replacement teeth. In the mandible the denture teeth can be placed at the position occupied formerly by the natural teeth.Keywords
