Abstract

Consistent with one of the basic principles of partial denture service, that of preserving the remaining oral structures while restoring function, a practical technique of exercise therapy has been presented whereby available supporting structures, depleted through prolonged disuse, can be reconditioned and function of missing teeth can be restored by prosthetic means. This method of treatment is not meant to be used for every patient who requires a free end partial denture but for those selected patients with conditions which demand something more than the ordinary prosthetic service. This type of program is a burden neither to the dentist nor to the patient, and patient cooperation is generally excellent once he knows why such a plan is being proposed.
