NAME

AGE
Record chronological age whenever possible
When the exact information is unobtainable, an
estimate may be made and age listed as "under
40", "40 to 60 years", and "over 60 years".
The significance of the age from the prosthodontist
standpoint is in the ability of a patient to wear
dentures successfully.
Two main factors present themselves
 Adaptability
 Physiological Condition of Supporting Structures

SEX
 Esthetics and of the influence of
 Sex hormones on the supporting structures.
Unlike men, women may regard appearance
even above the efficient functioning of the
replacement teeth.
In the second consideration, normal
physiologic change decrees that women
undergo menopause, a period productive of
many problems which mitigate against easy
denture construction.

OCCUPATION
People generally making public appearances,
such as artists, actors, salesmen,
public speakers, singers, teachers, etc.,
are particularly concerned with the
esthetics and phonetics of replacements.
while tradesmen, mechanics, or laborers,
etc., are concerned with functional efficiency.
People like beauticians, who open bobby pins
with their teeth, might place leverage on the
front of the CD and cause problems of
function; i.e. retention.
