The dental concept of occlusion is defined as functional contact or relationship between the teeth from the upper and the lower jaw. This equilibrium in the masticatory center of occlusion can be interrupted through various processes of tooth destruction or extraction. These alterations disturb the relationship in the occlusion, noticeably in negative direction. The dentist’s main goal is to restore the mastication center and maintain that occlusal balance. There are different options and techniques concerning the way of restoring the occlusal balance. In this article, we will consider them, describing materials and methods used, as well as their positive and negative sides
