abstract: Definite issues are involved in the denturism controversy, such as consumerism/economics, sympathy for the elderly population, freedom of choice, and acceptance of paraprofessionals. The dental profession must deal with these issues. Its concern for oral health and quality of training can only be presented (and accepted) if it is placed within the context of the issues as the public sees them.
