| Abstract | |
The fabrication of prosthesis for completely edentulous or partially edentulous arches encounters a special challenge when soft tissue and bony undercuts, interferences, various paths of placement, tilted teeth and deranged occlusion are present to complicate the treatment plan. Flexible dentures have emerged as a viable option to treat various edentulous conditions. This article reviews the evolution, applications, advantages and disadvantages of flexible dentures. |
