| denture prognosis | An opinion or judgment, given in advance of treatment, of the prospects for success in the construction and usefulness of a denture or restoration. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| denture rebasing | The process of refitting a denture by replacing the denture base material without changing the occlusal relations of the teeth. Rebasing may include adding to the denture base to compensate for resorptive changes to subjacent structures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| denture repair | The process of reuniting or replacing broken or worn parts of a denture. (12 Dec 1998) |
| denture retention | The retention of a denture in place by design, device, or adhesion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| denture service | Those procedures performed in the diagnosis, construction, and maintenance of artificial substitutes for missing natural teeth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| denture sore mouth | Mucosal erythema underlying a denture base, usually representing inflammation caused by ill-fitting dentures, poor oral hygiene, or Candida albicans. (05 Mar 2000) |
| denture space | That portion of the oral cavity which is, or may be, occupied by maxillary and/or mandibular denture(s), the space between the residual ridges which is available for dentures. See: interarch distance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| denture stability | The quality of a denture to be firm, steady, constant, and resist change of position when functional forces are applied. Synonym: stabilization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| denture-supporting area | That portion of the basal seat which supports the complete or partial denture base under occlusal load. Synonym: basal seat, denture-bearing area, denture-supporting area, stress-bearing area, supporting area, tissue-bearing area. (05 Mar 2000) |
| denture-supporting structures | The tissues, teeth, and/or residual ridges, which serve as the foundation for removable partial or complete dentures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| design denture | A planned visualization of the form and extent of a dental prosthesis, made after a study of all factors involved. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immediate denture | A complete or partial denture constructed for insertion immediately following the removal of natural teeth. Synonym: immediate insertion denture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immediate insertion denture | A complete or partial denture constructed for insertion immediately following the removal of natural teeth. Synonym: immediate insertion denture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| implant denture | A denture that receives its stability and retention from a substructure which is partially or wholly implanted under the soft tissues of the denture basal seat. See: implant denture substructure, implant denture superstructure, subperiosteal implant. (05 Mar 2000) |
| implant denture substructure | The metal framework which is placed beneath the soft tissues in contact with, or embedded into, bone for the purpose of supporting an implant denture superstructure. (05 Mar 2000) |
