****at a follow up visit, patient complains her mandibular complete dentures seem loose. what is the LEAST likely reason for dislodgement?
??????????
denture teeth are set in neutral zone (you want them there)

limited to:
a osteoplasty
(or would this be called an alveoloplasty ????)
most likely cause of spherical porosity in the denture is?
monomer boiling
The compete denture that was processed in the pre clinical course was process using the long cure polymerization method at

theory of the max central incisor resembling the face form is called:
(based on the shape of the face)
geometric
based on age, sex, and personality
dentogenics- frush and fisher

be place over the crest of the ridge
The most significant disadvantage when fabricating immediate complete dentures is
no anterior try in
so disadvantage would be the lack of esthetic anterior trial before processing
well contoured set of dentures used muscles contractions to stabilize the dentures. best example is
buccinator
**mainly palatoglossus muscle and superior constrictor affect distal phalange of mand denture
