Q

What are advantages to immediate dentures as stated by the book?

A
  • maintenance of patient’s appearance
  • circumoral support, muscle tone, VDO, jaw relationship, face height maintained
  • tongue will not spread out as a result of tooth loss
  • less postoperative pain as extraction sites are protected
  • easier to duplicate the natural tooth shape and position
  • adaptation easier. Speech and mastication are rarely compramised, nutrition can be maintained
  • availability of tissue-conditioning material
  • patient’s psychological and social well being is preserved
