The most likely cause of complaint with prosthodontics is a denture that in some way fails to be accepted. A denture that does not perform as the patient expects can give rise to great disappointment and anger. The problem is that acceptance of a denture is not just a technical issue. Success depends on the individual’s ability to tolerate and adapt to the denture. It is therefore essential to make the right assessment for the patient from the outset. This includes discovering the patient’s priorities and establishing realistic expectations.
Dentures are not just a gap-filling exercise and denture dissatisfaction is not just a technical issue. Making the right assessment for the patient is crucial in denture provision.
To achieve success in denture construction, appropriate care must be taken in the diagnostic stages.
Planning for the loss of other teeth in the future at the design stage will save potential grievance later.
