The article presents a study clarifying the influence of artificial posterior teeth occlusal configuration for lingualized occlusion, on masticatory function. It compared the masticatory movement and subjective sensations between the artificial teeth for lingualized occlusion and the designed bladed teeth for lingualized occlusion. Results revealed that both types exerted the same masticatory efficiency but the designed bladed teeth were specifically effective in the mastication of hard foods.
