In an edentulous situation, the oral rehabilitation with complete denture is substantially different from treatment of natural teeth. The artificial teeth arrangement and occlusion are important factor for the stability of the denture. Bilateral balanced occlusion is that stability of the denture is attained when bilateral contacts exist throughout all excursion and static states of the denture during function and, artificial teeth are arrangement in neutral zone where the forces between the tongue and cheeks or lips are equal. This is how dentist make a favorable prognosis. Therefore, dentists are have to be a little more involved in the selection and arrangement of artificial teeth.
