    Study Notes

    Post-Insertion Denture Problems

    • Common problems include sore spots, dislodgement, and changes in oral sensations.
    • Excessive bulk in the denture can lead to discomfort and difficulty in adjustment.

    Lower Jaw Issues

    • A common post-insertion problem related to the lower jaw is dislodgement during chewing or speaking.
    • Moderate tongue movements can unseat lower dentures.

    Dislodgement Concerns

    • Dislodgement when drinking is a frequent issue with dentures, especially if suction is compromised.
    • Maxillary dentures may also dislodge when the jaw is at rest due to improper fit.

    Sensation and Comfort

    • A 'feeling of space' in the upper denture often indicates inadequate coverage or fit.
    • Excessive salivation can result from the body's response to new dentures.

    Impact on Function

    • Maxillary dentures often tip during incisive pressure due to an unstable fit or occlusal imbalance.
    • Talking or laughing can cause the upper denture to drop if not properly secured.

    Taste and Sensation Changes

    • Loss of taste may occur with poorly fitting dentures, affecting the sensory experience of food.
    • Sore spots frequently accompany new dentures as the mouth adjusts to the appliance.

    Other Considerations

    • Phrenetic issues could arise due to improper denture design impacting the frenulum.
    • Dislodgement of mandibular dentures during function may be caused by uneven load distribution or inadequate retention.
