Abstract
Immediate full denture service in the sense here considered, that is, in the meaning generally applied to it in the dental literature, consists of constructing one or both artificial full dentures before the natural teeth are removed and preparing the mouth surgically so that one or both dentures can be inserted at the same sitting that the teeth are extracted. The patient is spared the embarrassement always associated with an edentulous period. He is never seen without teeth. If the work is skillfully done, few people need know that the natural teeth have been lost. This service expresses the highest art of full denture pros¬ thesis. It represents the most satisfying solution that has harassed our older patients since time immemorial.
