  • Title: Prosthodontic care of elderly edentulous patients.
    Author: Marxkors R.
    Journal: Int Dent J; 1993 Dec; 43(6):591-8. PubMed ID: 8138319.
    Abstract:
    Elderly people tend to gradually lose more of their ability to adjust. This pertains as much to changes within the oral cavity as to the general things in life. It is, therefore, advisable to make only small changes within the oral cavity at any one time. The goal of producing a complete denture should be attained in small steps with the aid of 'add on dentures'. Existing, successfully worn, complete dentures which have become inadequate, should not be replaced but should be rebuilt step by step. In addition, a 6 month recall system is strongly recommended.
