Abstract

This article analyzes the main clinical and functional factors influencing denture retention in completely edentulous patients. Particular attention is paid to the morphofunctional condition of the oral mucosa, its adaptive capacity to prosthetic load, and their relationship with denture stability. The use of individual adaptive splints is substantiated as an effective stage of preliminary mucosal preparation. Clinical observations demonstrate that adaptive splints reduce pain symptoms, shorten the adaptation period, and significantly improve the retention and stability of removable dentures.

Keywords: complete edentulism, individual adaptive splints, oral mucosa, removable dentures, denture retention, clinical effectiveness
