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.
