Abstract

Teeth are essential for aesthetics and functions like chewing, swallowing, and speaking. Tooth loss can compromise these functions and reduce quality of life. While fixed implant rehabilitation is an option, complete removable dentures remain the most common choice due to affordability. Traditional denture fabrication methods, in use for over a century, are reliable but prone to human error, inaccuracies, and lengthy processes. Troublesome dentures often result from clinical, technical, or biological factors, causing discomfort, functional issues, and aesthetic concerns. This article reviews common challenges with complete dentures and explores remedies to improve outcomes and patient satisfaction.
