A simpler technique for fabricating a prong denture has been described. The prong denture was placed in the mouth of a patient with an atrophic maxilla, who was suffering from ALS, a disabling motor disease. The patient was unable to manage a conventional denture. With the insertion of a prong denture, the patient experienced greatly increased retention and function of his maxillary prosthesis and a more favorable attitude toward himself and his disease.
已经描述了一种用于制作叉形假牙的更简单技术。该叉形假牙被放置在一名患有肌萎缩侧索硬化症（一种致残性运动疾病）的上颌萎缩患者口中。该患者无法佩戴传统假牙。随着叉形假牙的植入，患者上颌假牙的固位和功能大大增强，并且对自己和疾病的态度更加积极。
