How does resorption of the jaw bones affect denture occlusion?
Resorption increases the rate of resorption
What happens to dentures in protrusion when the patient has natural occlusion?

Fit problem
Test your knowledge on dental prosthetics and learn about the benefits of the severely reserved ridge for patients with poor neuromuscular control. This quiz will cover its suitability for poor quality ridges, class 1 and class 2 or 3 situations, varying mandible sizes, and cross bites. Take the quiz to see how well you understand the use of the severely reserved ridge in dental procedures.
