Denture wearers need regular checkups

Last month, I got on a roll discussing the removable prosthesis as a viable and important option in the armamentarium to replace missing teeth. I would like to continue the discussion of removable partial and complete dentures. When I completed last month's article, I was discussing the differences between porcelain and acrylic denture teeth. It is well documented that the acrylic denture tooth will wear at a much higher rate when it is chewing against either a natural tooth or another acrylic denture tooth.
