title: [The most frequent reasons for failures in total prostheses].
abstract: When objectivating the complaints of full denture patients, the failure in acceptance of, and the patient's discomfort from the denture are with very few exceptions due to faults in denture construction. There is usually more than one factor contributing to the problem, in 90% of the cases the cause is faulty occlusion and in half of the cases the cause is improper design of the denture base. Although the majority of the patients will tolerate deficient dentures without any complaint, the functionally insufficient denture will damage the alveolar ridge. Therefore it is advisable to place every denture patient on a recall system.
