Re-examination of complete-denture patients: II. Status and Need of Treatment After Two Years

Abstract

In a material of 68 complete-denture patients frequent deviations from optimal conditions have on simultaneous recording been found with respect to stability, adaptation to the supporting tissues, retention, occlusion (vertical dimension) after two years. Stomatitis prothetica existed in the majority of cases. There have been immediate needs for treatment for 54 patients. The measures called for are of varying kinds. For the need for treatment to be met, initiative from the dentist seems most often to be necessary.
