Abstract
Leprosy sequelae patients surmount the inconvenience by the handicap. When people with the handicap are able to do the same act as healthy people, we may not pay attention to the originality and creativity for it. Therefore, we are not able to notice some risks which are hidden. We turned our attention to the denture in the oral region. The methods of putting in and taking out the denture of leprosy sequelae patients are characteristic. Even a partial denture, there are many patients who take out their denture using only their tongue, without touching a clasp with a finger. And they put in the denture by biting. But we had never not announced the details of their methods. So, we investigated how to handle their denture in National Sanatorium Nagashima Aiseien. We explain their methods and show the results. On the other hand, there are a lot of cases of the denture breakage in National Sanatorium Nagashima Aiseien. We think most of these matters occur due to their handicaps. We researched on the cases with dentures broken. In addition, we also describe our countermeasure.
