<p>A denture 10 releasably engages at least the terminal teeth 20, 32 of a series of consecutive natural remaining teeth 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32 to hold the denture 10 in place in the user's mouth. The denture has a continuous lingual flange 14 and a buccal flange 16 which is interrupted adjacent at least one tooth such as teeth 24, 26, 28, 30. The denture is held in place by gasketed horseshoe-shaped clasping and sealing members 40, 42 extending generally anteriorly of the remaining portions 36, 38 of the buccal flange. The clasping and sealing members can be integral extensions of the denture base material. The denture is particularly adapted for users whose gum adjacent the natural teeth is substantially undercut.</p> |
