Single Complete Dentures - 75<br />
7. A cast metal complete denture base can be considered if fracture of denture has<br />
occurred repeatedly. Fractures usually are caused by the heavy forces from the natural<br />
dentition in combination with occlusal contacts on inclines (causes flexing of the<br />
denture) or impingement on a bony midline (again causing wedging forces on opposite<br />
sides of the denture).<br />
8. Denture teeth will wear more rapidly against natural teeth. Patients must have more<br />
frequent recalls to adjust the denture occlusion to prevent changes in stress distribution.<br />
9. Never use porcelain denture teeth against natural teeth - they can cause severe attrition<br />
of the natural teeth. It is preferable for the denture teeth to wear, rather than the natural<br />
teeth.
