Nowadays, aesthetics is very appreciated in the social context and a attractivesmile is the object of desire in most of patients requiring prosthesis treatment. In
case of removable prosthesis, total or partial, this feature is more significant since
some or all teeth may be absents. Implants leading to a significant improvement in
relation to function and comfort of removable prosthesis users, but the aesthetics of
these prostheses had little attention in the current scientific literature. Thus, the
aim of present article was to make a review of the literature on the aesthetic features related to rehabilitation with removable prostheses. In present study we
found as significant factors for the aesthetics in removable partial and total
prostheses: selection of artificial teeth and their arrangement, characterization of
acrylic resin basis and also the types and location of retainers for the removable
partial prostheses. We conclude that the involvement and the aesthetic knowledge
during the appropriate planning of this process is responsibility of the professional.
