Slippage of dentures or ‘pustiso’ did not stop a dancer from dancing
THE SHOW MUST GO ON – The slippage of his dentures or “pustiso” did not stop a dancer from dancing graciously.
Dentures, or false teeth, are removable devices used to replace missing teeth and restore oral function and appearance. Apparently, dentures can slip for various reasons. One common cause is the gradual changes that occur in the mouth over time. As the jawbone undergoes resorption, the gums and underlying bone tissue can shrink, leading to a looser fit for the dentures. This loss of stability can result in dentures that shift or move during activities like eating or speaking.
Another factor is the fit and design of the dentures themselves. If the dentures are not properly fitted or adjusted, they may not conform well to the shape of the gums and bone, making them more prone to slipping. Inadequate suction or poor retention can also contribute to denture slippage.

Additionally, factors like excessive saliva production or a lack of moisture in the mouth can affect the effectiveness of denture adhesives. If the adhesive is compromised, the dentures may not stay securely in place, leading to slippage.

In the video, the dancer can be seen dancing with his group when suddenly his dentures, or pustiso, fell out. It took him a short time to pick up his dentures and put them back in his mouth. While many laughed at the video, some praised him for his professionalism and for not being bothered by the slippage of his dentures.
