title: Diagnostic significance of denture complaints.
abstract: An inventory of denture complaints should be completed by patients who request replacement dentures prior to a diagnostic interview. Patient responses are often more spontaneous and unguarded and will reveal problems that might otherwise remain concealed. A more fruitful interview with the dentist will facilitate the information of a treatment plan that will satisfy that patient's need.
