title: [Is the preoperative removal of dentures reasonable in every case?].
abstract: Traditionally, dentures are removed prior to anaesthesia. Modern techniques in dentistry and the widespread use of regional anaesthesia should lead to a more individual approach to this problem. From a legal standpoint, the information about advantages and disadvantages concerning the removal of dentures can be explained without problems to the patient without medical background.
