Summary
Conventional complete dentures continue to serve as a viable option to rehabilitate patients and restore everyday oral functions and esthetics. For edentulous patients who choose to pursue implant treatment, a well-made set of conventional dentures can serve as a prototype for the implant-supported prostheses, providing information such as tooth position, tooth location, vertical dimension, interocclusal space, esthetics and phonetics.
CAUTION: When viewing the techniques, procedures, theories and materials presented, you must make your own decisions about specific treatment for patients and exercise professional judgment regarding the need for further clinical testing or education and your own clinical expertise before trying to implement new procedures.
