A simple examination instrument (the Edentulous Exam form) was developed to be used in a regular and systematic manner to determine outcomes or prognoses for the edentulous patient. Factors that can complicate treatment are discussed. When a dentist can gather information about what a patient is presenting with, a satisfactory outcome or prognosis can be effectively projected before the actual treatment commences.
