“…Tooth loss impairs speech, aesthetics, mastication, and deglutition, which are important components of survival and social interaction. 26 Aesthetically, the mouth is a prime area of focus in social and sexual communications, reflecting an individual's identity and self-image. 27 Investigators have reported on clinical evidence of body image disturbance in edentulous denture-wearers.…”
