Abstract
Study casts and roentgenograms should be made for all patients at the first appointment. The prosthetic problem should be presented to the patient so that he might have the choice between full-mouth reconstruction and complete dentures. Immediate denture impressions should be carefully made. The opinion the patient has of the dentist's ability is dependent upon the quality of retention of the dentures. Individually prepared acrylic resin trays are indicated for the edentulous impression technique. Determination of vertical dimension requires an understanding of the function of nerves and muscles. The position of the teeth is determined by the functions required of the teeth. A better understanding of our prosthetic problem will be possible when we as a profession understand more about functional anatomy.
