Abstract
The purpose of this study was to estimate the clinical condition of complete denture wearers. 72 patients came to our Dental Hospital according to our recall. The examination consisted of a questionnaire and clinical examinations. For objective evaluation, the fitness test of lower complete denture base was taken place and was classified into four groups by the thickness of the white-silicone film (A-zone 0-30 microns, B-zone 30-70 microns, C-zone 70-130 microns, D-zone 130 microns-). Results 1. The average ratio of four groups of the white-silicone film were A-zone 9.3%, B-zone 35.8%, C-zone 24.5% and D-zone 30.4%. 2. The fitness of anterior portion was ill fit in comparison with posterior portion. 3. There was statistically significant difference between the fitness of lower complete denture and dentist's judgment diagnosed as ill fit denture. 4. There was significant difference between the fitness test and the patients who complained about loose fit of the denture.
