This article emphasizes that philosophy and includes surgical techniques for managing commonly encountered problems as well as those problems associated with placement of immediate dentures. Predictable results with minimal complications can be expected when one adheres to these guidelines.

Some patients delay the extraction of infected teeth because of the fear and dread of becoming edentulous. In immediate denture service, the humiliating edentulous period is eliminated. An immediate denture is defined as a "denture constructed for insertion immediately following the removal of the natural teeth" and is desirable and indicated for a majority of patients who lose their remaining teeth. This article discusses techniques and materials used in the preparation of immediate dentures.
