This review aims to evaluate various occlusal schemes in complete dentures concerning age, gender, and mandibular resorption to determine their relative effectiveness and suitability. This narrative review was performed through scientific articles published between 1998 and 2020, indexed in MEDLINE and PubMed databases. Various occlusal schemes are employed to enhance masticatory ability and ensure patient satisfaction. Despite the availability of multiple occlusal schemes, determining the optimal one linked explicitly to the highest level of patient acceptance remains inconclusive. This review presents scientific data from selected sources, elucidating various occlusal scheme patterns and summarizing the most suitable based on age, gender, and mandibular resorption.
