Abstract
The provision of complete dentures is often perceived as a clinical 'black art' as it relies on a blend of clinical skill, scientifi c evidence and no little artistic interpretation. Coupled to this is a heavy reliance on patient ability to control their dentures in a muscular environment while, hopefully, coping with the various oral functions in addition to appearance. This article deals with the potential problem areas in the provision of complete dentures, reinforcing the importance of practitioners obtaining appropriate informed consent and of maintaining clinical knowledge and skills.
