An understanding of occlusion is essential to examine and recover the patient's overall oral condition. In order to understand academics in occlusion, it is necessary to look into its history. In the 1850s, most prosthetic treatment meant restoration of complete dentures, so many scholars suggested balanced occlusion to enhance the stability of dentures. Since the restoration of natural teeth using the casting became possible after the 1920s, a long history of debate represented by Gnathology and PMS(Pankey-Mann-Schuyler) philosophy has begun. With the introduction of implants as a substitute for tooth loss in the 1990s, interest has been shifted to studying the concept of biomechanics in occlusion for implants as well as natural teeth. This article is an overview of the various occlusal concepts from a historical point of view which will help the clinicians select an appropriate occlusal scheme for high difficulty cases.
