Abstract

Dentistry
A simple technique is presented for achieving balanced occlusion when setting 30 degrees Pilkington-Turner teeth. This technique involves the rotation of the mandibular posterior teeth around three axes: the vertical axis, to align the grooves and embrasures with the lateral path of the movement of the cusps; the mesio-distal axis, to achieve the Curve of Wilson; and the bucco-lingual axis, resulting in the Curve of Spee.
