Psychological Aspects of Treating Complete Denture Patients: Their Relation to Prosthodontic Success

Department of Prosthodontics, Temple University School of Dentistry, Philadelphia, PA

Denture failures in the elderly are multifactorial. Such failures are rarely the result of technical or mechanical faults alone and are seldom corrected by remaking the denture. The dentist is in a position to reduce the number of prosthetic failures through the application of knowledge of the physical, metabolic, and endocrine changes associated with aging, as well as the emotional disturbances and nutritional deficiencies common among the aged. (J Geriatr Psychiatry Neurol 1989;2:48-51).
