Abstract

The provision of complete removable dentures can, in legal terms, be defined as a commitment to perform the best of one's abilities. Indeed, the result or patient's satisfaction with the new dentures, is difficult to predict and is apparently not only dependent upon the dentist/denturist and variations in materials and techniques. The relationship between the dentist/denturist and the patient is complex, but influences to a large extent patient satisfaction. This is especially true in cases of patients with reduced residual alveolar ridges or other (oral) problems. When a complete removable denture is being prepared, the patient should be thought of as the dentist/denturists most reliable contributor. By way of preventing or preparing for possible legal procedures, a good patient record is of importance. The patient record should contain the information which the patient has provided, the patient's request for help, and the character of the patient's expectations for treatment.
