No essay on complete dentures is complete without confronting occlusion, and here Manappallil shines as a synthesist. He navigates the reader through the historic debates: balanced occlusion vs. monoplane vs. lingualized occlusion. Unlike Western texts that often champion a single school (like the French articulators or the Pound concept), Manappallil adopts a pragmatic eclecticism. He explains that for a patient with a Class I ridge relationship, a fully balanced occlusion with a 10-degree cusp angle is ideal. But for a severe Class II ridge resorption pattern, the lingualized occlusion—where maxillary palatal cusps contact flat mandibular occlusal surfaces—preserves stability. Go to or Amazon
