Vulcanite is a really hard rubber, and NZ Army supplied vulcanite dentures for kiwi troops (most were toothless as NZ soil is fluoride deficient). The troops were unable to chew bread supplied to them at Gallipoli with their dentures.
I am looking for a pair of vulcanite dentures to go with my SMLE. Anyone got a pair for sale? I have medium size gums and if you need them I'm happy to wait until you die.
Click on image for link to British Dental Association article on vulcanite dentures. Interesting stuff. Honestly! Even includes a dentist shooting someone dead over false teeth.
