Requirements of complete dentures

  • Stability of the denture.
  • Unlocking cusps mesio-distally to accommodate for gradual settling of denture base.
  • Control of horizontal forces by all cusp height reduction according to residual ridge resistance form, inter-arch distance.
  • Functional lever balance by favourable tooth to crest position.
  • Sharp ridges, cusps, sluice ways to increase masticatory efficiency.
