the embedding of the reinforcing structure comprises arranging at least part of the reinforcing structure at a position 0.001 mm to 1.0 mm apart from an inner wall defining the vertical groove.
12. The method of fabricating a plate denture of claim 1 , wherein
the creating of the denture plate comprises:
acquiring design data of the denture plate having the socket and the vertical groove formed thereon; and
creating the denture plate, based on the design data.
13. A plate denture comprising:
a denture plate having a concave socket formed thereon and a vertical groove formed in a bottom surface of the socket;
an adhesive material applied to the socket and the vertical groove;
a reinforcing structure arranged in the vertical groove and embedded in the adhesive material; and
at least one artificial tooth arranged in the socket and adhered by the adhesive material such that the reinforcing structure and the at least one artificial tooth are spaced apart from each other by the adhesive material and are bonded via the adhesive material.
14. The plate denture of claim 13 , wherein
the at least one artificial tooth includes at least six front teeth comprising left and right central incisors, lateral incisors, and canines, wherein
the vertical groove and the reinforcing structure are formed in an arcuate shape along dentition, wherein
the vertical groove and the reinforcing structure have a mesiodistal width of half or more of a mesiodistal width of molars, and wherein
