“…Discomfort associated with the lower denture was the main complaint, a similar flnding to that of Makila (1974) and Lutes et al (1972). Despite the variations in the number of denture wearers grouped according to adjustment visits ( Table 9) the xt est on the whole sample demonstrated no difl'erence (P>0-05) between curing cycles.…”

“…Seven patients, three with long cure dentures and two each with medium and short cure dentures, failed to return after insertion and were excluded from the investigation as it could not be presumed that they were satisfied with their prostheses. This approach was similar to that of Deeley (1965), Lutes et al (1972) and Carey (1978) who made routine recall appointments, and was in contrast to Makila (1974) whose patients were told to return only if problems arose. All patients included in the present study made at least one recall visit but only 72 % made adjustment visits and this contrasted with 100% (Lutes et al, 1972), 80% (Deeley, 1965) and 54% (Carey, 1978).…”

Trevalon is a denture base material which can be cured by three basic alternative curing cycles, thus providing a choice of processing technique which can be selected to suit laboratory or clinical needs. The flexibility of working properties is probably due to the interaction between on the one hand, the high molecular weight of the powder and on the other hand, the particle size distribution which are important factors influencing the doughing time (14 min), working time (40 min) and the exothermic reaction. The effect of each curing cycle upon the following properties of the material was investigated; dimensional accuracy, Young's modulus, modulus of rupture, impact resistance, water sorption, indentation resistance, creep and transverse bend behaviour. The particle size and molecular weight distribution of the powder were also evaluated. A clinical investigation of Trevalon was carried out by constructing complete dentures for a sample of patients, divided into three groups, each group having dentures processed by one of the three alternative curing cycles. Although some laboratory tests demonstrated that there were statistically significant differences between specimen bases, no clinical differences were recorded between dentures 1 year after construction.

“…Despite such considerations, dentists still encounter patients who are not able to properly use their dentures and have problems with them despite the fact that all the considerations have been taken into account. After the patient receives his/her complete dentures, a wide range of problems are encountered (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18).…”

Introduction: Despite a decrease in the number of adult edentulous individuals, the number of individuals who lose all their teeth and need complete dentures is on the increase. One of the most important principles of fabrication of complete dentures is to achieve patient satisfaction. In the present cross-sectional study, the gradual trend of patients' satisfaction with complete dentures was evaluated. Materials and methods: In a descriptive study with pre-and post-test design, carried out in 2013 on 30 patients referring to the Department of Prosthodontics, Tabriz Faulty of Dentistry, the patients' gradual satisfaction with complete dentures was evaluated one week and 2 months after delivery of dentures in 7 aspects, including masticatory efficacy, satisfaction with mastication of soft and hard foods, ease of cleaning of dentures, perception of food tastes, articulation and overall satisfaction. A researcher-made questionnaire was used, whose validity and reliability had been confirmed. The questionnaire determined the patients' satisfaction by a value ranging from zero to 10. Repeated-measures ANOVA was used to analyze data. Results: Thirty subjects were included in the present study. Changes in patients' satisfaction from the first week to the second month were significant in terms of mastication of soft and hard food items, ease of cleaning the dentures, articulation and overall satisfaction (P=0.022, P=0.023, P=0.018, P=0.001 and P=0.001, respectively). Changes in patients' satisfaction with masticatory efficacy and perception of food tastes from the first week to the second month were not statistically significant (P=0.092 and P=0.144). Conclusion: In the present study, patients' satisfaction increased in all the aspects. Although such increase in satisfaction with mastication of soft and hard foods, ease of cleaning the dentures, articulation and overall satisfaction was statistically significant, it was not significant in relation to perception of food tastes and masticatory efficacy.
