What is the purpose of creating a curve in the posterior when setting the mandibular teeth?

To improve the vertical overlap

When would you consider using an anatomical tooth for the denture?

When the anterior horizontal and vertical overlap are insufficient

When there is significant resorption on the posterior mandible

When there is good bone support for the denture (correct)

When there is a flat occlusal plane
