A randomised crossover clinical trial of masticatory function in complete denture wearers with conventional and lingualised balanced occlusion.

The masticatory performance was similar between the two occlusal schemes, increasing according to the number of chewing cycles. The adaptive period is relevant, regardless of the occlusion scheme, because the time factor was decisive for the improvements noted in the oral health self-perception of the participants (according to the GOHAI results).
