THE DENTURE’S THREE SURFACES
• Intaglio or fitting
• Polished
• Occlusal
Attaches the teeth to the bone of the jaws
PERIODONTIUM
Provides a resilient suspensory apparatus resistant to
functional forces
PERIODONTIUM
• Hard connective tissues and soft connective tissues
• Allows the positions of the teeth to change in response to
stress
PERIODONTIUM
a poor substitute compounded by the demise of periodontal ligament with its support and
sensory functions.
