Q

Prosthesis that serve as temporary denture to which teeth will be added as more teeth are lost and that will be replaced after post-extraction tissue changes have occurred.

It can become an interim denture when all teeth have been removed from the dental arches.

Q

Q

Indication of Treatment Denture:

A
  1. Establish new occlusal relationship
  2. Restoration of new vertical dimension
     Vertical dimension- height of teeth in relation to the ridge when they are in occlusion.
     Teeth do not become longer but
    supraverted because there is no tooth
    contact. (Supraversion)
     Tooth are suspended on socket by PDL.
