In the prosthesis, while trying to regain the lost functions of the patient, it is also aimed to correct the impaired speech and improve the aesthetic appearance. In this way, while the oral health that has been largely lost is restored, individuals who have to live with missing or ruined teeth in the society are also psychologically supported.
