Resumo

A technique for making resilient layer and occlusal reactive dentures was proposed. A radiographic and clinical evaluation of the effect of these dentures on the residual ridges of 17 subjects was done. The results showed that the rate of ridge reduction with these dentures was significantly less than that with conventional dentures. Therefore, the resilient layer principle is a promising clinical modality.
