  • Title: Continuing changes in the contour of the maxillary residual alveolar ridge.
    Author: Jackson RA, Ralph WJ.
    Journal: J Oral Rehabil; 1980 May; 7(3):245-8. PubMed ID: 6931200.
    Abstract:
    Using a cast measuring technique, the change in contour of the residual maxillary alveolar ridge of patients who have worn dentures for a number of years and are then fitted with new dentures, has been investigated. The study confirmed that even after 30 years of denture wearing, further bone resorption may occur beneath new dentures.
