DENTURES AND ALCOHOL

There was no mention of the periodontal tissue for denture wearers in "Alcohol Abuse and Dependence: Psychopathology, Medical Management and Dental Implications," by Dr. Arthur H. Friedlander and colleagues (June JADA).

In my practice, "Dentures Only," I have found alcohol abuse patients have a problem with dentures. The periodontal tissue, maxillary and mandibular, becomes very smooth, which makes it impossible to get a tight fit.

Any recommendation?
