    Entures: Sarah Zakaria Moustafa

    This document discusses different types of dentures used for replacing one or two anterior teeth. A spoon denture replaces upper anterior teeth and is shaped like a spoon to fit the palate without touching the gums. A modified spoon denture uses friction between a connector and posterior teeth for retention. An 'every' denture can replace multiple teeth in the upper jaw and uses posterior wire stops to prevent drifting. Spoon dentures are used temporarily after trauma or for young patients before final restoration.
