Abstract
The microscopic characteristics of the mucosa covering the alveolar ri dge that supports a complete denture have long been studied. In this p aper, any histological changes in mucosa loaded by a denture before an d after a denture has been anchored by implant onto the bone were foll owed. The results suggest that mechanical loads improve trophism of mu cosa, and that fixing a denture to implants leads to a more uniform di stribution of loads.
