Introduction
Not covered by Medicare. Dentures improve the effectiveness of bag-mask ventilation,[2] which come out for endotracheal intubation.
Complications
- bacteria originating from plaque on dentures implicated in aspiration pneumonia[1][3]
- edentulous patients are at higher risk of obstructive sleep apnea due to upper airway anatomy associated with the absence of teeth[1]
