By inserting auxiliary prosthetical means (anchored dental replacement with splinting elements) functional failures can be reduced. By using molding surfaces in the one-piece model cast denture the displaced mandibular stump is repositioned and the occlusal relationship between upper and lower teeth reconstructed largely without periodontal damage to the residual dentition.
