Denture aesthetics: the union of natural contour, color, and shape.

This article reviews a method for placement of full dentures in completely edentulous maxillary and mandibular arches. The selection of a maxillary central incisor is discussed along with the facial/tooth measurement, incisal papilla as a landmark in the maxilla, the midline, and the positioning of the remaining maxillary anterior teeth. The "S" position of the mandibular incisors, occlusion, and the verti-centric dimension are reviewed. The four basic tints of the denture bases are listed, and precision processing is recommended in fabricating the final dentures from information gained from the provisional restorations.

Dentures and partials or esthetic removable prosthetics.

In the past 50 years, advances in restorative dental procedures have made it possible for dentists to achieve better esthetic and functional results for their patients than ever before. Removable prosthodontics has been practiced in much the same way that is has been for many years. Since the introduction of root-form osseointegrated implants, there is a renewed interest in the edentulous and partially edentulous patient. To give the patient all possible treatment options, implants must be considered, but they must not replace sound prosthodontic principles. Presurgical prosthodontics in the form of provisional restorations and stents are necessary for correct implant placement. Overdentures, bar partial dentures, and soft liners are sound treatment alternatives. Review of the work of Dr. Earl Pound is the best source for the development of correct complete dentures.

Impression techniques for removable partial dentures.

This article concerns a subject that has been very perplexing to dentists attempting to provide superior removable prosthetic services. The techniques in this article have been developed, tried, and proven over 42 years of clinical practice. Adequate impressions for partial denture construction when crowns that have been fitted to the mouth are included as part of the master cast. The dilemma of having already cemented crowns with attachments on them can be a problem. An easy technique has been developed for analog production in these cases.

Regaining pleasure and success with complete denture services.

The techniques used by Earl Pound for denture construction are stated, and their application to contemporary denture construction and implant-based prosthodontics is discussed. Positioning the anterior teeth using the mandibular movements of speech, the use of lingualized occlusion, and the fabrication of diagnostic provisional removable complete dentures--all hallmarks of the Pound technique--are described. It is the author's experience that many patients are content with properly fabricated conventional dentures and do not require dental implants for retention, comfort, and stability of their prostheses.
