Mouth protector for an edentulous patient

G J Barankovich. J Prosthet Dent. 1975 Nov.

Abstract

Upper and lower bases and occlusion rims are made of a soft vinyl plastic to form a mouth protector for an edentulous patient. In practical use, the patient can breathe more comfortably with the protectors in place (Fig. 4) than with dentures in the mouth. In addition, the prosthesis is an aid in the prevention of injury to the jaws and head.
