The basic thought is simple. Much attention is given to impressions in order to make efficient bases for dentures. Much emphasis is placed on occlusion. The facial, tongue, and palatal surfaces of dentures, however, have been comparatively ignored. These surfaces are usually carved into an “ideal” form without sufficient consideration for the position and function of cheeks, tongue, and lips which are always in contact with dentures.If a denture must be closely adapted to the structures on which it rests, and if its occlusion with the opposing denture must be accurate, it is equally important that it be intimately adapted to the cheeks, tongue, and lips with which it is constantly in close contact and with which it must function in harmony. The reasoning in this concept is not new. Fauchard stated in 1746,‘(We must consider the form and the curvature that the outside and the inside surfaces must have to avoid discomfort of the tongue, the gingivae, and the inside of both cheeks.“l Fish2v3 described this feature of denture construction in 1932. Lott’s4 first application of these principles was to improve the stability and function of completed dentures, principally mandibular dentures, that were otherwise satisfactory. The intervening years have brought extension of its field of usefulness through changes in method, improved materials, and consultation with other men, notably Dr. Russell Tenth. The technique has been simplified until it is rapid and easy to apply, and the improvement in retention, mastication efficiency, and other features has been quite apparent.
