Abstract:

The curve of Spee is an important feature of dentition shape and reference index for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. In the field of prosthodontics, a reasonable depth of the curve of Spee must be maintained, but complete flattening of the curve is often pursued in orthodontics. This article mainly discusses the definition, recent research, and different views on the curve of Spee in the fields of prosthodontics and orthodontics to help in diagnosis and treatment.

Key words: the curve of Spee, occlusal, orthodontic, prosthodontic
