ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic denture which releasably engages natural abutment teeth to releasably hold it in place in the user's mouth. The denture has a continuous lingual flange and a buccal flange which is interrupted adjacent at least one tooth of a consecutive series of remaining natural teeth. The denture is held in place by gasketed horseshoe-shaped clasping and sealing members extending anteriorly of the remaining portions of the buccal flange. The clasping and sealing members can be integral extensions of the denture base material. The denture is particularly adapted for users having a series of consecutive natural teeth, particularly if the user's gum adjacent those natural teeth is substantially undercut.
