A contemporary review of the factors involved in complete denture retention, stability, and support. Part I: retention.

Abstract Establishing optimal complete denture retention requires an understanding of the factors discussed. Incorporation of these determinants into the prosthesis through proper design and technique contributes to the success of complete dentures.
