[Topographical changes in the labial fornix in the endentulous mandible due to the insertion of dentures].
The evaluation of 278 lateral teleradiographs obtained from 139 full denture wearers with and without their prostheses permitted to measure the position of the lavial vestibule in the mandible. In contrast to significant sagittal changes in position, no vertical ones were detected after insertion of the denture. Due to these findings, the author is very cautious in assessing  the possibility of targeted deepening of the alveololabial sulcus in the region of the labial vestibule by functional impression taking or by shaping the labial border of the denture.
