The objective of this study is to compare the canine guidance (CG) and bilateral balanced occlusion (BBO) on denture satisfaction and kinesiographic parameters of complete denture wearers, by means of a cross-over trial. Edentulous patients will receive new maxillary and mandibular complete dentures and, after the intraoral adjustments and adaptation period, will randomly receive a sequence of occlusal schemes: BBO followed by CG, or CG followed by BBO.

Before enrollment, all participants will receive conventional complete dentures adjusted according to the bilateral balanced occlusion concept. Following randomization, canine guidance will be achieved by adding composite resin (Restorative Z100, 3M Brazil, Sumaré, SP, Brazil) on the lingual surface of the maxillary canines. A sham comparator will also employ the addition of composite, but without changing eccentric contacts.

Denture Satisfaction
Assessed by a questionnaire questionnaire based on the criteria used by Celebic and Knezovic-Zlataric (A comparison of patient's satisfaction between complete and partial removable denture wearers. J Dent. 2003;21:445-451) and used by Souza et al. (Validation of the Brazilian versions of two inventories for measuring oral health-related quality of life of edentulous subjects. Gerodontology. 2012;29:e88-95.). Eight questions were answered according to a three-point scale (0=unsatisfactory; 1=regular; 2=good), whose sum provided a summary satisfaction score that ranged from 0 (the participant is completely dissatisfied with existing dentures) to 16 (maximum satisfaction).
Time frame: 30 days
Kinesiographic Parameters -- (1.a) Maximum Mouth Opening, Vertical Axis
Mandibular physiologic movements and the pattern of maxillary denture movement during chewing, as recorded by a kinesiograph (K6-I Diagnostic System, Myotronics research Inc., Seatle, WA). Specific measures involved: (1) Mouth opening; (2) Movement of the mandible from rest position to maximal occlusion (tooth clenching position); (3) Movement of the mandible during chewing; and (4) Movement of the upper denture base during chewing. Data from each measure was not combined into new variables, and collected in a single time point after each intervention. All measures were taken according to the vertical, anteroposterior and left-right axes separately.
Time frame: 30 days
Kinesiographic Parameters -- (1.b) Maximum Mouth Opening, Anteroposterior Axis
Mandibular physiologic movements and the pattern of maxillary denture movement during chewing, as recorded by a kinesiograph (K6-I Diagnostic System, Myotronics research Inc., Seatle, WA). Specific measures involved: (1) Mouth opening; (2) Movement of the mandible from rest position to maximal occlusion (tooth clenching position); (3) Movement of the mandible during chewing; and (4) Movement of the upper denture base during chewing. Data from each measure was not combined into new variables, and collected in a single time point after each intervention. All measures were taken according to the vertical, anteroposterior and left-right axes separately.
