Dentists are beginning to see a new type of patient who requires removable prosthodontic rehabilitation. These patients are the result of both increases in longevity and dental treatment that has retained teeth, despite the onslaught of caries and periodontal disease. The current procedures for transitioning patients into removable prostheses can be modified for this new group of patients. This article presents a transition procedure for patients who are receiving removable prostheses, which dissociates the surgical phase of treatment from the prosthetic stage. The patient's existing teeth are incorporated into a removable prosthesis in a way that ensures the exact replication of the tooth position in the oral cavity. This method addresses many of the inadequacies of current procedures while at the same time requiring a minimum of chair time. Even with this procedure, this transition is still difficult for the patient.
牙医们开始接待一类需要可摘义齿修复的新型患者。这些患者是寿命延长以及尽管遭受龋齿和牙周疾病侵袭但仍保留牙齿的牙科治疗共同作用的结果。针对这群新患者，目前将患者过渡到可摘义齿的程序可以进行修改。本文介绍了一种针对接受可摘义齿患者的过渡程序，该程序将治疗的手术阶段与修复阶段分开。患者现有的牙齿以确保在口腔中精确复制牙齿位置的方式纳入可摘义齿。这种方法解决了当前程序的许多不足之处，同时所需的就诊时间最少。即便采用这种程序，对患者而言这种过渡仍然困难。
