For the last few decades our knowledge concerning the occlusion have developed a lot, because of the many clinical, morphological and functional implications of the occlusion. In the study of the terminal occlusion, it is considered to be of functional importance the closing trajectory of the mandible in centric relation and the closing trajectory of the mandible in maximal occlusion. The purpose of this research is to analyse the terminal occlusion of the complete denture patients, emphasize the link between occlusion disharmony and instability of the complete denture. Complementary exam used is the computerized T-scan system connected a compatible IBM computer. The study included 17 to subjects (11 males and 6 females), with an age over-age of 63 years. When completing this study the authors were able to classify four types of occlusal contacts.

The connective restoration of dental arches still raises physignomic problems. The less visible in the context of individual's facial architecture the more esthetic the prosthetic artifice is. Based on the statistic data of the Iaşi Clinic of Dental Prosthetics the results of the gnathoprosthetic treatment performed in the years 1987 and 1988 in 1,751 patients were evaluated. The efficiency was estimated by the quantitative relation between the various types of prostheses used in restoring the integrity of frontal arch.

The authors present the forms the psychic discomfort may take during the prosthetic treatment and the importance of their diagnosis. This paper is the result of the investigations carried out in the Office of psychognathoprosthetics of the Clinic of Dental Prosthetics of Iaşi and synthesizes the results obtained by the prepsychiatric examination of 180 patients.
