title: Complete dentures: are they out of phase with current therapy?
abstract: Complete dentures are truly a full-mouth reconstruction that functions in a dynamic environment and provides the completely edentulous patient with function, esthetics, phonetics, facial support, and self-esteem. Solutions to six of the most frustrating problems of complete denture treatment are described. These solutions provide enhanced treatment possibilities and mutual satisfaction to both the patient and the practitioner.
