Complete Denture
A complete denture is a removable prosthetic appliance used when all the natural teeth have been lost.It is a prosthetic replacement which is comfortable,durable and strong.
Causes of tooth loss :
- Dental caries
- Periodontal disease
- Trauma
- Poor oral hygiene
- In Elderly people – Age related

Effects of teeth loss
- Facial muscles on the cheeks and lips lose their support as teeth are lost, resulting in ‘aged appearance’ of the individual
- Loss in mastication or chewing efficiency
Teeth function to help with the chewing of food, grinding, breaking it down to small pieces that can be swallowed. Loss of teeth definitely results in inefficient grinding of food eventually resulting Indigestion problem. Thus, denture wearing to a certain extent aid to regain some masticatory function back to normal.

After the removal of all the natural teeth (when there is absolutely no possibility of restoring any tooth) or in an edentulous state, the gum tissue is left to heal. The procedure is started only after the extraction site is completely healed.
