Abstract
Background: The most common treatment modality the edentulous patients receive is the removable complete denture. The most common problem the patients complain of is the traumatic ulcers the dentures induce.Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the frequency and the location of the denture related ulcerations during the initial post insertion period.Materials and Methods: The patients were recalled on 1st, 3rd and 7th days after denture insertion in 40 edentulous patients with age range of 40-70 years for evaluation of any discomfort and any sort of mucosal injuries and then after every 4–5 days until all the mucosal injuries subsided and patient discomfort was alleviated. Chi-squared test was used to evaluate the correlation between mucosal injuries and postinsertion day and the relationship between lesions, patient age, and patient gender.Results: The results showed that patients complained of the discomfort and mucosal ulcers more frequently in the mandibular denture than in the maxillary denture during post insertion period.Conclusion: within the limitations of the study it can be concluded that complete denture treatment is not adequate and complete till the patients are cared for proper postinsertion problems. This signifies that the postinsertion period is most critical to assess the success and failure of complete denture service.
