BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to dentures. [0002] An individual who has lost a number of, or all of, his teeth may wear a denture. If any remaining teeth are insufficient to moor the denture, a dental adhesive is typically used to secure the denture in place. However, a denture secured by an adhesive may fail to remain in place, particularly when the wearer is masticating. [0003] Therefore, there remains a need for a denture that can more securely be held in place in the mouth. SUMMARY OF INVENTION [0004] A denture has a body with a plurality of concavities in a first surface of the body--the first surface, in use, abutting soft tissue of the mouth. A plurality of through holes extend from the first surface to an opposite, second, surface. [0005] Accordingly, the present invention provides a denture comprising: a body having a plurality of concavities in a first surface of said body, said first surface, in use, abutting soft tissue of a mouth and a plurality of through holes extending from said first surface to an opposite, second, surface. [0006] Other features and advantages will become apparent from a review of the drawings in conjunction with the accompanying description.
