During the replacement of the missing teeth, it is imperative that consideration should also be given to the amount of soft tissue which needs to be restored. A restoration can be termed functional only when it provides sufficient support to the extraoral and intraoral tissues while assisting proper speech, esthetics, and mastication. The nursing and the medical staff in particular should be informed via appropriately designed educational materials
and other resources specific to the oral health needs of older adults. Prosthodontic replacement aims to reach high absolute patient satisfaction with the new prosthesis as well as improvement of satisfaction when comparing new and old dentures.

Introduction Conventional removable dentures still play an important role in the treatment of lost teeth. A thorough understanding of the parameters that influence patient satisfaction is useful for deciding whether denture replacement is meaningful. From a clinical perspective, factors that can be measured before starting treatment are relevant 14.

Replacement of missing teeth and the associated structures are done with the help of artificial prosthesis. Acrylic resin, by virtue of its excellent properties is widely used as a material of choice for fabrication of denture base. In spite of its higher esthetic quality, tissue compatibility and ease of manipulation, it has an inherent deficiency that it is prone to fracture. Acrylic resin, which came into market in 1950s, was widely accepted as denture base material, because of its excellent properties like good esthetic value, ease of manipulation, ease of repair and also for economical factors 12. The expectations of patients can profoundly influence treatment outcome.

Many prosthetic failures may result not from technical problems but from a lack of communication between the dentist and the patient with regard to the treatment outcome. Patient education should help to create a positive attitude by informing the patient about the limitations associated with complete dentures like being placed on a resilient base and masticatory inefficiency. The patient should be motivated on ways to overcome or compensate for these problems as well as proper oral and denture hygiene9.
