Comprehensive Approach to Patient Preparation for Complete Removable Prosthetics

Complete edentulism remains one of the most frequently encountered clinical problems in orthopedic dentistry, particularly among elderly and geriatric patients. A key factor in successful prosthetics is quality preparation of the oral cavity, which helps prevent complications, improves orthopedic treatment outcomes, and extends the service life of removable constructions. Conducting comprehensive therapeutic and surgical sanitation at an appropriate level significantly facilitates patient adaptation to complete removable dentures. This study, conducted in 2024–2025, was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary approach in preparing for complete removable prosthetics. Despite the active implementation of digital technologies and improvement of orthopedic techniques, the problem of adequate pre-orthopedic preparation remains relevant. The work presents results of analysis of psychoemotional, surgical, and orthopedic preparation of patients for manufacturing complete plate dentures, which confirmed the necessity of a comprehensive approach at this stage of treatment.
