Fabricating removable complete dentures is a rather complicated treatment. The quality of the care delivered is broadly determined by 2 factors: the technical result and the way in which the individual patient experiences and evaluates the treatment. Healthcare professionals who carry out this treatment are subject, with respect to their capability, to the Dutch Individual Healthcare Professions Act. In cases of persisting complaints or problems, edentulous individuals are often treated with an overdenture on oral implants. Several oral healthcare providers are then involved in the treatment. In order to clarify procedures, a trajectory of care is presented in which all of these oral healthcare providers are located. It is expected that the number of edentulous individuals will decline and that the degree of treatment complexity will increase. To guarantee future efficiency and quality of care delivery, a number of regionally distributed national centres of expertise should be established.
