Pages 30-34, Language: EnglishLamb / Ellis / KentThe security of mandibular dentures for edentulous patients has been quantified using a visual analogue scale. Relining loose dentures was shown to produce an increase in the patients' assessments of denture security for 21 out of 23 patients. The security of a denture after relining was found to correlate with the form of the residual mandibular ridge as measured by the mean anterior ridge height.
