'Branching Technique' in Complete Dentures- A Review.

ABSTRACT The Conventional (Five-appointment) technique has long been regarded the best way to do things because it is systematic and gives predictable results. However, it involves more visits and more time in the clinic. The Branching Technique, which was first developed by Pound and then improved by Turbyfill, uses functional impressions, phonetics, and esthetic trial arrangements through treatment dentures to make prostheses that are very personalized and work best for patients with severely resorbed ridges or high esthetic needs. But it takes more time and a lot of skill. The Accelerated (Simplified) Technique, on the other hand, makes making dentures easier by cutting down on the number of visits to the dentist to two or three. Frush and Smudde came up with the idea, and Idowu and others worked on it. There is a paucity of literature regarding the Branching Denture Technique. This review study sought to examine the Branching Denture technique.
