Dentures and partials or esthetic removable prosthetics.
In the past 50 years, advances in restorative dental procedures have made it possible for dentists to achieve better esthetic and functional results for their patients than ever before. Removable prosthodontics has been practiced in much the same way that is has been for many years. Since the introduction of root-form osseointegrated implants, there is a renewed interest in the edentulous and partially edentulous patient. To give the patient all possible treatment options, implants must be considered, but they must not replace sound prosthodontic principles. Presurgical prosthodontics in the form of provisional restorations and stents are necessary for correct implant placement. Overdentures, bar partial dentures, and soft liners are sound treatment alternatives. Review of the work of Dr. Earl Pound is the best source for the development of correct complete dentures.
