Prosthodontic Planning and Procedures
Complete dentures have a longstanding record for rehabilitation of edentulous jaws, but are frequently associated with problems of retention and stability. Patients with these issues may be referred for implant therapy often without first addressing problems of inadequate design and fit of the complete prostheses.
Improving the design and construction of the prostheses may alleviate problems of retention and stability without the need for implants. Therefore, the first step in the rehabilitation of edentulous arches is to establish whether or not the prostheses are adequate.
A complete denture is defined as a removable dental prosthesis that replaces the entire dentition and associated structures of the maxilla or mandible. Complete removable dentures must be designed as ideally as possible.
This module will address two aspects of optimal prostheses design: the patient's denture requirements and the professional design considerations for construction of the prostheses.
This module is a prerequisite to the Learning Module titled 'Complete Removable Overdentures: Implant Configuration and Retention'.
