This session describes the concepts and practical aspects of complete denture stability. It will deal with the definition of complete denture stability and will outline factors - physical, dental and psychological - which influence complete denture stability.

Learning objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • define what is meant by complete denture stability
  • describe how the component elements influence complete denture stability
  • interpret the findings of a basic prosthodontic examination by incorporating visual and tactile assessment of the peri-denture and denture bearing tissues

It should be appreciated that this aspect of a denture is not active but is achieved by 'conforming' to forces around and between dentures.

This session will deal with peri-denture muscular matters and, secondly, occlusal related matters.
