  • Title: Should dentures be worn continuously?
    Author: Tautin FS.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 1978 Apr; 39(4):372-4. PubMed ID: 417175.
    Abstract:
    Material has been presented to show the potential problem in continuous denture wearing. Commercial booklets for patient education have been reviewed and found to be in need of revision. Dental schools are not in agreement in the subject of continuous denture wear. The need for unanimity is evident, and if this is to be achieved, patient education publications must be revised. A maximum effort is needed to educate edentulous patients about oral tissue health, and especially the length of time that dentures should be worn.
