title: The use of natural teeth to make removable partial prostheses and complete prostheses: case reports.
abstract: Human natural teeth were used in manufacturing two complete prostheses and two partial removable dentures in three patients. All four prostheses continue to function satisfactorily. The practitioner, by utilizing the patient's natural teeth in preference to artificial teeth, achieves an excellent means of solving the patient's esthetic problems.
