Sets of posterior teeth which may be used for the production of dentures; the
sets including a first set of posterior teeth which provide for lingualized occlusion,
and a second set of posterior teeth which provide zero degree monoplane occlusion
surfaces. The second set includes maxillary and mandibular premolars and molars,
all of the teeth having flat lingual and buccal cusps and a central mesial-distal
fossa between the cusps, the central mesial-distal fossa of the mandibular teeth
being designed to accommodate the lingual cusps of the maxillary teeth of the first
set. The second set has been designed with full length premolars which are of sufficient
length to harmonize with canines, the premolars being provided facial surfaces
having a cusp like effect by having marginal ridges slightly lower than the center
of the buccal and lingual cusps.
