The article discusses a study which compares the masticatory performance between bilateral balanced lingualized occlusion (L.O.) and full balanced occlusion (F.B.O.). The study was participated by six volunteers with an edentulous jaw and the trial was repeated three times for each of the experimental foods which were boiled fish-paste, peanut and carrot. It suggests that L.O. is more effective in masticating hard or cut food than F.B.O. and is the form of occlusion having a high potential.
