Study Notes

Denture Base Functions

The primary function of a denture base is to restore aesthetics, speech, and mastication by providing a surface that rests on the underlying tissues and replacing missing teeth.

Tooth-Supported Prosthesis

In a tooth-supported prosthesis, the denture base distributes the forces to the underlying teeth, providing additional support and stability.

Esthetic Function

The esthetic function of the denture base is related to the imitation of natural teeth and surrounding tissues, such as gums and contours, to achieve a natural appearance.

Posterior Teeth Replacement

When posterior teeth only need to be replaced, the primary importance lies in providing adequate support and stability to the denture base to ensure successful prosthetic restoration.

Functional Stresses

During vertical movement under functional stresses, the denture base acts as a stress-breaker, distributing the forces and reducing the pressure on the underlying tissues and teeth.
