Personalized Oral Prostheses are removable prosthetic devices used to rehabilitate edentulous patients. Implementation of POP can largely improve the facial aesthetics and improve function in people who have lost a great amount of bone and for that reason aren’t candidates for regular implants. It can also substitute old dentures by providing the user with a personalized cosmetic solution that reestablishes the structural harmony of the face by restructuring and mimicking any tissue and bone that was lost.
Advantages:
1- Reestablishes the proper distance between the upper and lower arches caused by the loss of natural teeth

3- Restores lip support by replacing lost front teeth with a completely personalized prosthetic approach.
4- Improves masticatory function by providing good occlusal stability.
5- Increases self confidence by giving the user a natural look.
6- Fits and seals well, providing security when eating and speaking
7- Can be retained and stabilized in a higher degree by the use of accessory dental implants
