Lingualised occlusion (cusp to fossae) develops a mortar and pestle occlusal configuration. This arrangement enables excellent penetration of the food bolus. Bilateral balance is primarily accomplished by the maxillary lingual cusps maintaining contact during excursions with the inclines and central fossae of the mandibular cusps.
Cuspless, Monoplane or Non Anatomic Posterior teeth are used in setting a lingualised occlusion bite. In the years prior to the present, posterior teeth for lingualised occlusion were fabricated with "modified" cusps, mainly allowing to achieve for a balancing contact.
The presence of these cusps on artificial teeth was later felt by many dentist to present too many problems.The teeth itself did not cause these problems, But the misarrangment or incorrect placement or positioning of the teeth did, and thus the Cuspless, Monoplane or Non Anatomic tooth emmerged. Theses teeth are affective only if they are angled correctly and placed accordingly.
