The loss of teeth can be an extremely traumatic and an upsetting experience. The art & science of denture therapy has beenespoused and debated for almost a century. This paradigm has been repeatedly passed from “tutor-to-pupil”, with modifications & amalgamations of various philosophies. The “pupil-in-time-becomes-the-tutor” & the process continues as such. One cannot deny that various procedures involved in making of complete dentures have advanced through keen observation, experience, empiricism, anecdote, artistry & science.
