Background/Aim. Balanced occlusal arrangement of artificial teeth and  balanced occlusion is a specific type of occlusion that preserves the  stability of complete dentures. Balanced occlusion comprises realization of  tooth contacts at the working side as well as at the balancing side, at the  same time. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of balanced  occlusal arrangement of artificial teeth on the decrease in reduction of  edentulous alveolar ridge. Methods. A longitudinal study on 91 fully  edentulous patients was conducted using their panoramic radiographs and  parameters of vertical dimension of edentulous ridges. All the patients were  clinically examined by the same and a qualified dental practitioner.  Numerical values of parameters of vertical dimensions of edentulous ridges  and lines were statistically processed and compared using the Student’s  t-test. Results. Vertical dimensions and heights of edentulous ridges were  different after comparison of parameters in complete denture wearers with  balanced occlusion and complete denture wearers without bilaterally balanced  occlusion, as well as between male and female edentulous patients.  Statistically significant differences of heights were established in complete  denture wearers’ with a set of artificial teeth without balanced occlusion,  at the baseline and 12 months after wearing of complete dentures. Conclusion.  Balanced occlusion is a favored occlusal design in setting of artificial  teeth in conventional complete dentures, which preserves edentulous ridge and  influence the stability of dentures
