ABSTRACT:
A flexible tooth for mounting in dentures wherein the top of the tooth or crown and base of the tooth are separate parts bonded together by an annular, wedge shaped elastomeric layer. Limited area planar contact between the crown and base along the central axis provides unyielding resistance to biting forces while angular movement within the elastomeric layer allows flexibility of the crown with respect to the base so as to give a user the feeling of a natural tooth.
