Diagnosis of the aesthetic components of the mandibular anterior prosthesis.
This paper explores seven different factors which should be considered when prescribing the lower anterior prosthesis: alignment as seen from the incisal; height of the incisal edges; degree of irregularity of the teeth; character of the incisal edge; height of the cuspid; mesio-incisal angle of the cuspid; and ridge coverage. The weights and variations of these different factors are discussed and suggestions made for a complete work authorization.
