The immediate overdenture.

Abstract

The use of remaining roots of teeth enhances denture stability and retention. Teeth previously considered hopeless can now be used successfully as an aid in denture retention. The differential diagnosis for tooth selection and treatment is discussed, along with a step-by-step technique for constructing an immediate denture using prefabricated male and female attachments.

Racial norms: esthetic and prosthodontic implications.

A review of the orthodontic literature reveals that different races have different cephalometric norms. This has great implications in the placement and arrangement of teeth and in the evaluation of esthetics in people of dissimilar ethnic origins. In the diverse American society, prosthodontists and restorative dentists need to be concerned with the phylogenetic characteristics of their patients. The resultant esthetic differences can have significant importance in the function and design of prostheses.
