Textbooks on removable complete dentures have historically included an emphasis on technical procedures and materials sciences as they apply to the rehabilitation of the edentulous patient. However, in this compilation of 30 articles from the Journal of Prosthodontics, we have also selected articles that provide insight to the functional, psychosocial, nutritional, and comorbid factors that influence our ability to improve outcomes for the edentulous patient. This is relevant, as the total number of patients in the United States needing dentures has been increasing and because the edentulous state is interconnected to a patient's general well being.
This textbook started with the review of over 2,000 Journal of Prosthodontics articles related to removable complete dentures. The authors established a ranking that resulted in the 30 most impactful articles.* We divided the 30 articles into five thematic parts: Part I; Edentulism and Comorbidities, Part II; Oral Health, Biofilms, and Denture Stomatitis, Part III; Treatment Innovations, Part IV; Functional Parameters and Assessment, and Part V; Esthetic Considerations. Of the 30 articles selected, the article by Felton, Cooper, Duqum, et al on “Evidence-based guidelines for the care and maintenance of complete dentures” is featured on the book cover.
We encourage you to review this textbook with the idea of advancing your understanding of removable complete dentures. In addition to the above-selected articles, we suggest readers consider searching additional valuable literature on removable complete dentures that is available in the Journal online. Valuable information can be found by searching for removable complete dentures and keywords such as education, parameters of care, materials testing, occlusion, treatment methods, patient acceptance, satisfaction, adaptability, maxillofacial prosthetics, laboratory, CAD/CAM digital dentures, anatomy, and preprosthetic surgery.
The editors appreciate the opportunity to provide this textbook on removable complete dentures and hope that you will find value in reading the selected articles.
