Description
Ravi Sinha and co-authors test in a 2025 study how denture bite schemes affect jaw joint health in toothless patients. Joint trouble is common in this group and bad bite design can worsen it. Three schemes claim the edge, balanced, tongue side, and flat plane contacts.
Sixty patients aged 50 to 75 were split at random into three groups of 20. Each got new upper and lower full dentures built by standard methods. Joint health was scored at fitting, three months, and six months with a standard index. At six months the balanced group scored 0.8, the tongue side group 1.2, and the flat group 2.1. Pain and joint sounds also ran lowest under the balanced scheme.
