title: The pre prosthetic management of the edentulous patient.
abstract: The problems to be solved are those largely caused by prolonged wearing of old, inadequate dentures where faulty occlusion, ill-fitting bases, poor denture hygiene, parafunctional habits combine to produce denture stomatitis and papillary hyperplasia. A programme is set out to deal with these problems and to adjust abnormal frenum and muscle attachment.
