Department of Dentistry, is organizing a 7 day Denture Camp for

completely edentulous geriatric patients from 15th

Edentulism is the condition of being toothless to at least some degree as a

result of tooth loss. Loss of some teeth results in partial edentulism, whereas loss

of all teeth results in complete edentulism.

Functionality of teeth is very important. They, serve to:

Cut, grind, and chew food which aids in overall nutrition & health

maintenance

Support lips and cheeks, providing for a fuller, more aesthetically pleasing

appearance

Allow for the proper pronunciation of various sounds

For overall psychological well being

Complete denture fabrication requires multiple patient sittings and a precise

coordination between clinical and laboratory staff. The registered elderly patients

will be provided with the fabricated dentures within a duration of 2-3 months.
