1. A denture made of pre-fabricated teeth comprising:
- molars (12,
14) for each upper and lower jaw, in which at least each of the upper jaw molars is provided with an incising ridge (24) at lingual position, each of which upper jaw molars, in occlusion position, engages a masticating surface (18) of its lower jaw antagonist, characterized by the fact that the masticating surface (18) of the antagonist (14) exhibits a fossa (45) with at least some convex arcuate areas (20,
22), by means of which the antagonist (14) may be centered in tripodized contact intercuspidation at the incising ridge (24, at
80).

Abstract
In the case of a denture made of pre-fabricated teeth, that exhibits molars and pre-molars for each jaw, upper and lower, at least on the upper molars at the lingual position, an incising ridge (24) is provided. The incising ridge is intended, in the occlusion position, to engage the masticatory surface (18) of the antagonist of the lower jaw (14) in each case. The masticatory surface (18) exhibits a sulcus (45) with at least some areas of convex arcuate projection (20, 22) by means of which the antagonist (14) may be centered in tripodized incuspidation on the incising ridge (24).
