“…In 1935, at a joint meeting of the National Society of Denture Prosthetists and the American Full Denture Society, Sears presented his “Major Design Specifications” for nonanatomic teeth. In his paper, he listed 14 specifications based on his 15 years of research and experience . Sears’ design approach was to begin by eliminating all interferences.…”

Part I of this two-part article concentrates on the early 20th century origin of the nonanatomic concept of complete denture occlusion. It focuses on Dr. Victor Sears, who in 1922 made a courageous departure from convention when he introduced the design for his "Chewing Members." Development of these teeth marked the birth of the School of Nonanatomic Denture Occlusion. Dr. Sears' 35-year journey of research and development is traced here through his mid-1950s association with Dr. Simon Myerson. Their Myerson-Sears design set the standard for flat-planed, nonanatomic denture teeth for the next half century.

“…In 1927, Sears (Fig ) presented 10 design specifications for nonanatomic denture teeth. By 1935, he had expanded his design specifications to 14, and finally, to 20, in 1952 . During the mid‐1930s, the general preference for posterior denture teeth was changing from an anatomic to a nonanatomic design .…”

This second part of a four-part series concerned with the development of nonanatomic denture occlusion follows nonanatomic tooth design from the time of Victor Sears' first nonanatomic tooth patent through the mid-1930s. Many of the designs featured in this series exhibit genius, while others are pure nonsense. Sears claimed that a new nonanatomic tooth design appeared every 9 months on average during the first 30 years of nonanatomic tooth production. Many current nonanatomic tooth patents are further refinements of those earlier designs. Part II reviews pioneering designs that appeared during the first dozen or so years of this paradigm shift in denture occlusion philosophy.
