Experience with New Posterior Teeth Confirms Research Findings MYERSON AND SEARS DESIGN AND COMBINATION OF MATERIALS PROVE BENEFICIAL IN FULL RANGE OF CASES Review February 1956, Richard L. Myerson, re- ported to the American Academy for Plastic Research in Dentistry his finding of dramatic reduction in wear of plastic teeth when opposed to properly designed porcelain teeth. At a clinic in Boston in November 1956, remarkable success was reported in forty-eight clinical test cases. At the time of this writing, thousands of full dentures have been made with Myer- son and Sears porcelain-plastic posterior teeth by the profession-at-large. There can be no doubt that this use has been sufliciently extensive both in quantity and duration to be highly conclusive. Results Success has been reported on the most difficult as well as on normal cases. Equally important, no single case of fail- ure or disappointment has been reported either voluntarily or upon solicitation. Fla!

Insert drawing shows how upper and lower teeth meet in one plane. Conclusion Many benefits can be derived from the use of Myerson and Sears posterior teeth. They are listed below. I Benefits of Opposing Porcelain Teeth to Plastic 1. One tenth the loss due to wear compared to that experienced when opposing plastic teeth to plastic. 2. Less shock and resultant trauma and clicking than porcelain-to- porcelain. 3. Easier adaptation and adjustment due to lower teeth being plastic. 4. Increased masticating efficiency due to maintenance of sharpness by the upper teeth which are por- celain. II Benefits of the Myerson and Sears Occlusal Design 1. Fulfilling the requirements essen- tial to success in opposing porce- lain to plastic. 2. Increased stability by directing the vertical force of mastication mainly to the lingual side. 3. Increased stability by directing most of the vertical force of masti- cation to the second bicuspid - first molar region. 4. Increased stability by absence of interdigitating cusps. 5. Easy set-up and articulation. Whenever the above benefits are desired, the use of these new posterior teeth is indicated. Available literature includes a booklet describing the new development, a tech- nique by Dr. Victor H. Sears, and mould charts. Inquiries are welcomed.
