title: [Characteristics of fractures in complete dentures].
abstract: The analysis of fractures of the acrylate complete denture was performed in 200 patients taking into account age of patients, duration of denture usage, localization of fracture, frequency of fracture, number of denture per patient, and the state of the opposite jaw. There were 71,5% males and 60% female patients with the age from 60 to 69 years. The use of denture ranged from 10 to 15 years and the incidence of fracture was the largest in the first five years of denture use. One to three fractures usually occurred. In the largest number of patients, even up to 54%, it was the second denture. The acrylate opposite jaw complete denture had 43,5% of patients.
