Abstract

Background:  The ideal properties of the denture are adequate rigidity on polished surface to bear masticatory forces and at the same time, flexibility and softness on the tissue surface for proper and even distribution of masticatory forces. The problem with conventional denture is rigidity of tissue surface; leads to uneven distribution of load.  This drawback even worsens in case of atrophic, flabby and unemployed ridges with excessive bone resorption. The liquid supported denture allows continued adaptation and eliminates the disadvantage of the denture designs based on the application of temporary tissue conditioners or soft liners.

Keywords: Denture, liquid supported, prosthodontics.
