Can you tell me what occurs if one's partial dentures are never cleaned nor removed from the mouth?

Mass Destruction: The bacteria caught under the denture and clasps will destroy the abutment teeth. In a very short time that partial denture will need to be replaced by a full denture, unless extensive restorative work is performed. I've seen it, and it's not pretty...
