Talk:Dentures#Sync

There seems to me, from my own experience, to be another problem with stability of dentures; when biting with the front teeth, the incisors, there is a tendency for one or both plates to tip the rear of the plate toward the other plate, and tip the front of the plate away from the other plate. I hope that the anonymous User:DRosenbach (who seems to be a dentist) will see this comment, and address the problem. Too Old 01:51, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

:That's because your prosthodontist didn't do a very good job of "balancing" your "articulation", meaning that the back teeth of your dentures don't meet when your front teeth are in contact. 123.2.211.122 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:13, 11 June 2010 (UTC).

Not that im in any way up to date on the style guidelines for wikipedia but is "conclusion" the proper stylistic element for an encyclopedia?--Wilson (talk) 14:01, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

It's like an essay, this isn't needed. I'll remove it. 24.192.75.54 (talk) 10:27, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure the rational behind having a separate removable partial denture page. It should be at least mentioned on this page since it is a type of denture after all. I would even go as far to say that it should be merged. I see at some point it was included in this article. Bouncingmolar (talk) 05:18, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

{{u|Bouncingmolar}}, agree. Lesion 19:20, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Several IPs are repeatedly vandalizing this page, and worse some of the edits stood for a way too long.

To clarify, plastic teeth don't get tooth decay, since they are plastic... and they don't get metal fillings or bridges. They might wear down, but then you get new ones... Lesion 19:20, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

I suggest that the history section should look like the following (not to chop it off, the intention is to re-organize):

{{main|History of dental treatments#Dentures}}

In early history, the materials used to make dentures included real human teeth, animal teeth, animal horn, beeswax, gold, ivory, porcelain and wood. Historians have tracked George Washington's experience with dentures in great detail. In the 20th century, acrylic resin and other plastics were used. In Britain, sequential Adult Dental Health Surveys revealed that in 1968 79% of those aged 65–74 had no natural teeth; by 1998, this proportion had fallen to 36%.

To check whether the above is good enough, WP:SS is the editing guideline. There should be a "copied content from page name; see that page's history for attribution" in the Edit summary for fellow Wikipedians to trace it back. Tony85poon (talk) 03:06, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Should the History section of Dentures be re-organized to History of dental treatments#Dentures? Tony85poon (talk) 11:44, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

As well as the flat rate given in the text, it should be noted also that unemployed UK residents receive all their dental work, including dentures, for free. (The same applies to ophthalmological work.)
