ABSTRACT:
A skin contacting plate is formed in the shape of the gums to which the plate is secured by a skin adhering compound on a perforated layer. A protruding ridge along the teeth line has an internal reservoir to receive a skin adhering compound solvent from a syringe-type liquid pump to dissolve the compound to remove the skin contacting plate when desired. A denture plate conforms to the shape of the skin contacting plate and the protruding ridge. A syringe-type vacuum air pump draws the air from between an internal passageway between the plates through a valve in the denture plate to form a vacuum to maintain the plates together. Pumping air into the internal passageway immediately releases the plates.
