1- MANDIBLE
Apain at the peripheries of dentures in depth of sulci in muscles of
mastication e.g. masseter and posterior fibers of temporalis, pain intensify as
day progresses
Causes :
i-Unpolished or sharp edge
2-herpetic or aphthous ulcer
3-Excessive vertical dimension of occlusion

Treatment :
1.polish denture borders
2. leave denture out as much as possible and wait 7-10 days
3. If the excessVDO is less than 1.5mm, grind to provide
adequate freeway space. If it is more than 1.5mm, re-register
and reset at new vertical. dimension of occlusion.

• If the defect is within half of a premolar, it can be corrected by selective
grinding.
• If it is more than half a premolar, it must be corrected by recording a new
centric occluding relation, grinding the lower posterior teeth, and then
resetting of teeth . (clinical remount step)

• DentureAllergy
How to differentiate between denture
allergy and denture stomatitis?
In denture allergy, it is short-term complaint,
fiery red and glazed surface.
In denture stomatitis, it is long-term
complaint, with a more pink surface and no
glaze.

anterior hard palate & upper anterior ridge = Pressure over the anterior palatine foramen (incisive
foramen)
Premolar to molars = Pressure on greater pallatine foramen
lower anterior ridge = Pressure on mental foramen
Upper denture supporting tissue which may involve other intra oral tissues = Burning mouth syndrome
seen in middle-aged or elderly females with hormonal changes or psychological disorders

TONGUE ANDCHEEK BITING
Cheek biting
Causes :
. Posterior teeth cusp to cusp

. DecreasedVDO (Excessive
interocclusal space)

GENERALIZED PAIN
33
TONGUE ANDCHEEK BITING
Cheek biting
Causes : .setting of lower second molar on the
slope of retromolar area (inclined plane)
will cause displacement of lower denture
and cheek biting. Distal end of second
molar should stop at the beginning of
retromolar pad.

resetting teeth in maxillary/mandibular
dentures or both.

internal to the flange
2-overextended or thick maxillary posterior denture border
3- Insufficient vertical dimension of occlusion
4- Excessive vertical dimension of occlusion
5- Posterior teeth set inside the ridge (tongue is crowded).

A-DISLODGMENT DURING
MASTICATION

Maxillary Denture
•balanced occlusion can only be
achieved within functional limits of
teeth (2mm)
• so hard food has an effect of
premature contacts disturbing
occlusal balance
Textbook of Complete Dentures ( 6th edition )
A-DISLODGMENT DURING
MASTICATION
44
Mandibular Denture
1-Lackof occlusal harmony -->( compromised stability)
Causes :
premature contacts ( cause tipping movements)
During function :
the lever action tilts the denture base causing
a loss of the seal between the tissues and the denture
base.The result is loss of stability and retention
Textbook of Complete Dentures ( 6th edition )
A-DISLODGMENT DURING
MASTICATION
46
Mandibular Denture
3-residual ridge condition :
• the resiliency of the supporting mucosa
• amount of residual alveolar bone
• the inherent instability of the dentures during functional and
parafunctional movements.

A-DISLODGMENT DURING
MASTICATION
47
The insertionof a new
denture introduces an
altered environment for the
tongue, requiring its intrinsic
musculature to reorganize
both its shape and learned
activity patterns

Mo:Elsevier Mosby, 2013
PROBLEMS REGARDING MASTICATION
49
-Insufficient Chewing:
1. Lack of denture experience
if it is the first time they have used dentures.This time
can vary from a week to 6 months, or even longer.
2- Incorrect position or antero-posterior
orientation of occlusal plane
When saying the sound ‘e’ the tongue should be on the
occlusal surface, and it should be under the occlusal
surface while saying ‘o’

50.
PROBLEMS REGARDING MASTICATION
50
-Insufficient Chewing:
3. vertical dimension effect:
High vertical dimension
interocclusal space is insufficient,A patient that has difficulty in locating
the food on the occlusal surface needs to open their mouth wider
than normal
Low vertical dimension
the freeway space is greater than normal,The patient's
muscles cannot apply enough chewing force. the force of
the chewing
muscles will be inadequate
51.
PROBLEMS REGARDING MASTICATION
51
Correctionof vertical dimension :
if increased :
1- if minor changes needed :
selective grinding
2- if major changes needed :
resetting anterior & posterior teeth
if decresed :
3- resetting the teeth to the correct
vertical dimension
4- if minor changes with 2mm
remounting & self cure arylic resin can be added.
52.
PROBLEMS REGARDING MASTICATION
52
-Noise on Eating and Speaking
1.The lack of retention of the denture
for any reason
2.The high occlusal vertical dimension
3. interferences & premature contacts
4.The use of porcelain teeth which
causes increase of noise caused due
to previous causes . .
Ozkan.Y. K. (2018). Post insertion problems in complete dentures. In Springer ebooks (pp. 145-195)
53.
PROBLEMS REGARDING ESTHETICS
53
Generallya result of not taking sufficient care at the try-in stage and by not asking
the patient's opinion. Besides, the close environment of the patient has a great
effect on the esthetic complaints.
Zarb. George A. ProsthodonticTreatment for Edentulous Patients: Complete Dentures and Implant-Supported Prostheses 13th Edition. St. Louis.
Mo:Elsevier Mosby, 2013
After modification of Denture to meet the functional patient requirements &
mastication habits , there might be changes that affect the denture from
esthetic aspect

THEVISIBILITYOFTHE TEETH
too much exposed:
1-short lips
2-increased vertical dimension
3- incorrect level of occlusal plane
4-incorrect shape and prominence of teeth
less teeth exposed:
1-long lips
2-decreased vertical dimension
3- incorrect level of occlusal plane
4-incorrect shape and prominence of teeth

PROBLEMS REGARDING SPEECH
57
Fortunately,Theadaptability of the tongue to compensate for changes is so great
most patients master speech with new dentures within a few weeks.

Mo:Elsevier Mosby, 2013
58.
PROBLEMS REGARDING SPEECH
58
-Mispronunciationof the "S" Sound
1-The "s" sound is pronounced by the passage
of air from the small space between tongue and the palatinal
part of the denture
2-The sound "S" is produced with the tongue tip behind the
upper anterior teeth
Ozkan.Y. K. (2018). Post insertion problems in complete dentures. In Springer ebooks (pp. 145-195)
59.
PROBLEMS REGARDING SPEECH
59
Ozkan.Y.K. (2018). Post insertion problems in complete dentures. In Springer ebooks (pp. 145-195)
-Mispronounciation of the ‘S’ sound
• lisping the S=> TH:too much room for the tongue between the upper bicuspids.To test for this,
• add a piece of wax palatal to the bicuspids and check phonetics. If successful, adding chairside acrylic to the
denture base will help narrow that palatal space.
• Whistling S=>Sh : absence of sufficient space for the tongue between upper bicuspids.
• making a groove that is too large for the air to escape at incisors tongue in contact with palate

-Mispronunciation of the ‘T’ ‘D’ and "r" Sounds
-Retention problems

mouth while speaking
-AS ( Xerostomia or excessive salivation )
-Incompatibility --> Rough unpolished surface can lead to difficulity in
speech degulition & mastication
