Abstract

The authors state that in some cases of marked paratubal spaces, changes causing lack of stability or displacement of the upper total prosthesis may occur during certain movements of the mandibles.
Thus arises a problem in such cases how to make and adjust a total upper prosthesis to be more adaptable and to prevent these symptoms. The authors suggest a solution of the problem by making a prosthesis according to the impression taken while the lower jaws move (opening of the mouth, lateral movements and movements in propulsion) so as to obtain the paratubal surfaces of the upper total prosthesis which do not touch the mucosa in all movements of the mandible, while the prosthesis nevertheless retains stability and retention owing to the functional shaping of the paratubal surfaces.
