title: [Problems of incorporation of removable dentures with special reference to psychosomatic changes due to aging].
abstract: The successful use of technically unobjectionable plate dentures is a very complicated process that depends upon the patient's psychic attitude towards the removable prosthesis, the motivation, the ability of the sensory terminal organs in the oral cavity to get accustomed to the foreign body (the prosthesis), the adaptation and the learning of new sequences of reflex movements as a motor-muscular performance of perfection. These three factors, which the author regards as essential prerequisites of the incorporation (i. e., the untroubled mechanical use of the prostheses), are interpreted in the light of clinical experience and opinions from the most recent literature.
