The cuspless centralized occlusal pattern

Summary While the case in favor of the cuspless centralized occlusal pattern has not yet been proved by the eye witness of research, circumstantial evidence strongly points to both the ineffectiveness and destructiveness of the anatomic type of occlusion. Many dentists are following the lead of such thinkers as Sears, Hardy, DeVan, French, Jones, Kurth, Moses, and Pleasure in the procession away from the imitators of the cusp-studded anatomic curve of Spee. The feasibility of the cuspless centralized occlusal pattern should be more carefully explored and evaluated.
