One of the most difficult results to achieve in clinical dentistry is suction and stability on the full lower denture. The concept of eliminating the problem of the lower denture lifting by creating an effective seal around the entire border of the denture base through suction mechanism has been spreading worldwide.
This concept, developed by Dr Jiro Abe in Japan, enhances the suction effect of full lower dentures and allows for denture suction even in patients with advanced resorption of the mandibular alveolar ridge. This newly developed technique for achieving effective suction and stability of the full lower denture has become an indispensible part of treating patients.
Best Way to Achieve Suction
The most ideal way to achieve suction of the full lower denture is to combine this technique with BPS®. The incorporation of the concept of suction mechanism into the systematic BPS denture fabrication process will ensure a high success rate in attaining lower denture suction.
Paul Moorcroft has study this exciting new technique. Under the watchful eye of Mr Carl Fenwick CDT, SEMCD Instructor and successfully completed the full lower suction course.

Keeping Lower Dentures in Place With Suction
One of the most difficult results to achieve in clinical dentistry is suction and stability on the full lower denture. This is the process of eliminating instances of the lower denture lifting accidentally, by creating an effective seal around the entire border of the denture base through a suction mechanism.
This concept, which has spread worldwide since its inception, was developed by Dr. Jiro Abe in Japan. It enhances the suction effect of full lower dentures and allows for denture suction even in patients with advanced resorption of the mandibular alveolar ridge. This new technique for achieving effective suction and stability of the full lower denture has become an indispensable part of treating patients.
The Best Way to Achieve Suction
The ideal way to achieve suction of the full lower denture is to combine this technique with BPS®. Incorporating the concepts of what makes an effective suction mechanism into the systematic BPS denture fabrication process ensures a high success rate in attaining bottom denture suction for all our patients.
Abacus Dental Studio owner, Paul Moorcroft, has studied this exciting new technique, and has successfully translated what he learned to many of our patients. This was completed under the watchful eye of Mr. Carl Fenwick CDT, SEMCD Instructor, where Paul successfully completed the full lower suction course.
Tips to Keep Lower Dentures in Place
Beyond following our suction course, you can follow these tips for your lower denture that should help maintain suction and keep them in place:
- Store dentures in warm water, since cold water can gradually alter a material’s shape.
- Keep your dentures clean to avoid malformation that leads to loose fits.
- Consider getting your lower dentures relined if they persist in moving out of place or having them replaced with BPS models that fit better.
- Consider eating and speaking more slowly to avoid jostling the lower dentures unnecessarily. This may require some adjustment.
- Lower denture implants could be a more permanent alternative that eliminates lower denture movement altogether.
