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.
