Esthetics in Complete Denture

A successful denture may be defined as one in which the three cardinal factors of mechanics esthetics & phonetics are so completely & perfectly harmonized that the patient can not only chew his food properly but also experiences equal satisfaction from the contribution of the denture to his facial expressions & speech. It is frequently found that even with mechanically satisfactory denture the patient will complain of not being able to chew well. Perhaps with only a slight improvement in esthetics the patient will no longer complain of the inefficiency of dentures.The goal of a successful denture today is to attain a healthy beauty by harmonizing morphology & function.
