Patients with full dentures often experience some problems with their dentures, one of them is retention. The retention of a full denture is a result of many factors. Some factors are of a physical nature, others of a physiological nature. The dentist has to take these factors into account while modelling the borders, flanks and basis of the prosthesis. In obtaining the best shape of these borders, flanks and basis a special emphasis is put on the border and flank modelling and the individual impression.
